Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray two 6-count donut pans with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg, milk, coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Batter will be very thick.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until donuts are slightly firm. Remove from oven and cool completely before adding glaze.
