- Yield: 12 doughnuts
Ingredients (10)
- 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon 100% baking cocoa
- Melted chocolate, candy sprinkles, or confectioners’ sugar, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease the 6-count doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Microwave the chocolate chips and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds; remove and stir. Return to microwave if not completely melted, and microwave in 15-second intervals until smooth and creamy. (Do not overheat or the chocolate will scorch.)
- Mix together the eggs, vanilla, and sugar in a separate bowl until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa and mix thoroughly.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each cavity of the prepared doughnut pan. Bake for 12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted halfway into the donut comes out clean. Allow to cool until pan is warm enough to handle, about 3 to 5 minutes, before removing the doughnuts. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Garnish the doughnuts with melted chocolate, sprinkles, confectioners’ sugar, or your favorite combination.
