Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan. Fill each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed with a fingertip.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
