Baked Confetti Donuts With Easy Chocolate Glaze Recipes

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Make the donuts: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
• Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
• Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

BAKED CONFETTI DONUTS WITH EASY CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Add the wet ingredient mixture to the flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined. It should look like thick cake batter.
• Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into your batter.
• Grease your donut pan with cooking spray (I use a Misto spray bottle [affiliate link] with vegetable oil instead of store-bought cooking spray - healthier and more environmentally friendly!)
• Spoon donut batter into a pastry bag with no piping tip (you could also use a plastic bag and snip off a corner with scissors).
• Pipe donut batter into donut pan, filling each cavity a little more than halfway full.
• Bake donuts at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on top.
• Remove donuts from oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-6 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
• When donuts are nearly cooled, make the glaze.
• Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add melted butter and whisk it into the powdered sugar.
• Whisk vanilla extract and milk into powdered sugar mixture until smooth. The glaze should be thick and shiny.
• Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the wire cooling rack (you may want to put a towel or plate under the wire rack to catch any drips of frosting). Top donuts with sprinkles while glaze is still wet.
• Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes or so, then serve and enjoy!

BAKED CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease donut pans well.
• Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, and salt together into a large bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, butter, oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture until just combined.
• Spoon batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each well 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes; tap donuts out onto a sheet pan.
• Combine confectioners' sugar, hot water, and remaining vanilla extract in a bowl to make the glaze.
• Place parchment paper under a wire cooling rack. Transfer cooled donuts to the rack and coat in glaze, letting excess drip onto parchment paper; coat the donuts a second time if desired.
