Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Make the Batter:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently.
Fill the Donut Pan:
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip off the tip and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
