Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • cup cocoa powder
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • tsp salt
  • cup milk I used skim
  • 1 large egg
  • tsp vanilla extract
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • Chocolate sprinkles optional

Directions:

Preheat and Prep:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray, then use a paper towel to evenly coat the entire donut well.

Mix Dry Ingredients:

  1. In a smaller bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Set aside.

Mix Wet Ingredients:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Use a whisk or spatula to beat the mixture. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing by hand with a spatula just until combined.

Pipe the Batter:

  1. Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round piping tip, or transfer the batter to a ziplock bag, then cut off one corner and pipe the batter evenly into the donut wells. Use a small spatula to smooth the tops of the batter if needed.

Bake the Donuts:

  1. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool for 10 minutes in the donut pan. Then turn the donut pan upside down and hit the pan against a counter a few times to release the donuts. Allow them to cool completely before dipping.

Prepare the Glaze:

  1. Place chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute on 50% power, then stir. Continue to heat for 30 seconds at a time on 50% power until the chocolate is melted. Stir until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for a few minutes before dipping. Dip the donuts into the chocolate, allowing the excess to fall off into the bowl. Add sprinkles if desired. Allow the glaze to harden or enjoy right away.
