Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (45g) mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  5. Fill Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Stir in the corn syrup until the glaze is glossy.
  8. Glaze Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze. Place them back on the wire rack to set.

Notes

  • Buttermilk Substitute: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, mix 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Storage: Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
