Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, then pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan. Fill each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they spring back when lightly pressed with a fingertip.
Step 8
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
