Ingredients

Fluffy Chocolate Donuts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt or sour cream could be substituted
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or oil of choice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare donut pan by greasing or spraying with non-stick spray and set aside.

Fluffy Chocolate Donuts

  • Whisk the the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda together in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, almond milk, oil and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined using a wooden spoon.
  • Pipe with a pastry bag or cut a 1/2 inch hole into a corner of a baggie and pipe into donut pan.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until the tops spring back when you touch them.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto wire rack.
  • Place baking paper under wire racks to catch the excess glaze when glazing donuts.

To make the Glaze

  • In a microwaveable dish, combine the sugar, milk, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
  • Microwave for 20-40 seconds and stir. The lumps should be melted.
  • Dunk the donuts in the glaze to fully coat and place on a wire rack to set.
  • Once you reach the end, re-dip for a second time if desired.

Notes

If you don't have a donut pan, you can always use a muffin pan and glaze the tops afterwards. Adjust your time, depending if you make mini or regular muffins.
