Chocolate Donuts
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Glaze (Optional): If you want to add a chocolate glaze, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tbsp of butter in the microwave. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, then place them back on the wire rack to set.
- Serve: Enjoy your delicious chocolate donuts with a glass of milk or your favorite coffee!
Notes:
For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. You can also top the glazed donuts with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.
