Chocolate Chip Donuts
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup (60 g) mini chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons (30–45 milliliters) milk or cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Extra mini chocolate chips, for topping
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F (175C), creating an ideal baking environment for your delectable treats.
- Coat the donut pan thoroughly with non-stick spray or butter, ensuring each cavity is well-lubricated to prevent sticking.
- Sift together the dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a smooth, lump-free foundation for your donuts.
- In a separate vessel, whisk the wet ingredients until they form a harmonious, creamy consistency.
- Gently fold the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with careful, deliberate strokes to maintain a light texture.
- Carefully incorporate the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter to guarantee a delightful chocolatey surprise in every bite.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each donut mold approximately two-thirds full, allowing room for rising.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and a springy texture when lightly touched.
- Remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, helping them set and release easily.
- Gently extract the donuts from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate glaze for an extra layer of indulgence.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more complex flavor profiles in your donuts.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk to ensure smoother batter consistency and even baking.
- Sift dry ingredients to eliminate lumps and create a lighter, more delicate donut texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, maintaining the same measurements.
