Description

These chocolate covered donuts are soft, fluffy, and topped with a rich, glossy chocolate glaze. Perfect for breakfast treats or dessert lovers, this recipe yields tender baked donuts coated in a smooth chocolate coating that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a donut pan thoroughly to ensure the donuts don’t stick after baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth, uniform batter without overmixing.
  4. Fill donut pan: Evenly spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan molds, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  5. Bake the donuts: Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until they are set, lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Prepare chocolate glaze: While the donuts bake, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and milk together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
  7. Glaze the donuts: Once the donuts have cooled sufficiently to handle, dip the tops into the melted chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
  8. Set and serve: Place the glazed donuts on a rack or parchment paper to let the chocolate set before serving. Enjoy fresh for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Add colorful sprinkles on the chocolate glaze before it sets for a fun decorative touch.
  • Use dark chocolate for a richer taste or milk chocolate for a sweeter glaze based on preference.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh the day they are made to maintain softness and glaze shine.
