Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped mixed nuts (such as walnuts and almonds)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Spoon the batter into a large resealable bag, cut a corner of the bag and pipe the batter into each well of the donut pan, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the chocolate glaze, melt the dark chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip the top of each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts over the glazed donuts while the glaze is still wet so they stick.
Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving and enjoying.
