Description
These baked chocolate donuts are rich, soft, and topped with a smooth chocolate glaze. Made with everyday ingredients, they’re easy to whip up in under 40 minutes and perfect for a quick indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (21g) cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup (66g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (118ml) milk (skim used)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (59ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray and use a paper towel to evenly coat the wells.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
- Transfer batter to a piping bag or ziplock bag with the corner cut, and pipe into donut wells. Smooth tops if needed.
- Bake for 10–13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release and cool completely.
- For the glaze, microwave chocolate chips and oil at 50% power for 1 minute, stir, then heat in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth and slightly cooled.
- Dip cooled donuts into the glaze, allow excess to drip off, add sprinkles if desired, and let the glaze set or enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use a piping bag or ziplock bag for easier batter transfer.
- Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing to prevent melting.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips for a sweeter glaze.
