CHOCOLATE CHIP DONUTS
These baked Chocolate Chip Donuts are soft, fluffy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they’re easy to make and can be glazed or sprinkled with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar or glaze for topping optional
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk milk, yogurt, egg, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
Make the Batter:
- Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
Fill the Pan:
- Spoon or pipe batter into prepared donut pan, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let donuts cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Finish:
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze, if desired.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Donuts taste best fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.
- Glaze Idea: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 1–2 tablespoons milk for a simple glaze.
- Add-Ins: Try white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for variety.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in a covered container. Do not refrigerate, as they may dry out.
- Pan Tip: If you don’t have a donut pan, use a muffin tin and bake slightly longer.
