Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract, whisking until fully mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Stir in the melted unsalted butter and plain Greek yogurt, mixing until the batter is smooth and there are no dry spots.
Fill a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the batter. If using a zip-top bag, snip one corner off to create a small opening.
Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can glaze or dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
