Baked to fluffy chocolate perfection, these donuts are deceptively dairy-free. You wouldn’t know it though, I promise. And without the need to fry them, they whip up in a snap. You can literally have your donut and eat it too with your afternoon coffee. So why are you still reading 😉 get baking!

EQUIPMENT

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 2 donut pans with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat together the melted butter, yogurt, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  3. Add in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix until just combined.

  4. Scoop the batter into a large pastry bag and pipe into donut pans making sure to only fill each donut cavity half full. If you do not have a pastry bag carefully spoon the batter into each donut cavity.

  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts bounce back to the touch in the middle. Invert each pan onto a cooling rack and allow it to fully cool before glazing.

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

  1. In a medium bowl combine the icing sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.

  2. Add in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach a smooth consistency.

  3. Dunk each donut top into the chocolate glaze and then immediately dip into a bowl of sprinkles.

  4. Place donut on a cooling rack to fully set. Enjoy!
