Chocolate Donuts

Instructions

For the Donuts

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan (12 wells) with nonstick cooking spray, or rub with oil. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer, blend together egg, sugar, and Greek yogurt.

To the top of the wet ingredients, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Mix dry ingredients together lightly before stirring into wet ingredients. Stir just until combined.

Add melted butter and milk. Mix well, but do not overmix.

Transfer batter to a piping bag (or resealable bag with the corner cut off) and pipe into the donut pan. Fill the wells about â…" full.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

Cool the donuts in the pan for 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

For the Glaze (optional)

Once the donuts have finished baking, start the glaze.

Place the chocolate chips, cream, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir until chocolate chips are melted, microwaving again in 15 second intervals as needed.

Once the chocolate is melted, stir in vanilla extract. Mix well until you have a smooth texture.

Take a cooled donut and dip the top part in the glaze. Set the glazed donut back on the cooling rack. Top with sprinkles while glaze is still wet.

Let glaze harden before serving.
