Ingredients

For the Chocolate Glazed Donuts you’ll need:

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for garnish
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter, and set aside.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Beat until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined. Finally, add the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared donut pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Let cool completely before glazing.

To make the glaze, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Once melted, add the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar, and stir until smooth.

Dip the donuts into the glaze, and let set for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, and let the glaze set completely before serving.

Tips

This chocolate glazed donut recipe is easy to make and will be a hit with your family and friends. If you want to add a little more sweetness, you can dip the donuts in white chocolate or drizzle them with a little bit of melted dark chocolate.

For an extra special treat, you can also top the donuts with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed candy. Or, you can use the glaze as a base and add your favorite flavorings like orange, coconut, or peanut butter.

If you want to make them even more decadent, you can fill the donuts with a chocolate mousse or custard. Just be sure to let the donuts cool completely before filling them, or the glaze will melt off.

If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can make these donuts with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free flour blend. You can also use a sugar substitute like stevia or coconut sugar to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.

These donuts are best eaten the day they are made, but they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The glaze will get a bit hard, but it can be softened by warming it in the microwave for a few seconds.
