By NicoleS

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
• 1/2 tsp Nesquick
• 6 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Glaze: (Note-Seems more like a frosting. Chocolate glaze will remain silky and smooth, meaning you cannot stack the glazed donuts.)
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 Tbsp light corn syrup
• mini chocolate chips, for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (Try placing donut pan to warm in oven)

Prepare a piping bag fitted with a small round tip.

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and Nesquick powder. Place in a medium bowl and whisk in sugar. Set aside.

Whisk together melted butter, egg, milk and vanilla. Add wet mixture to bowl of dry ingredients. Stir to combine and mix until there no longer any dry streaks of flour.

Fill prepared piping bag with batter. Lightly grease donut pan. Pipe batter into prepared donut pans, filling molds a little over half full. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool in pan for 2 minutes before unmolding. Let donuts cool on wire rack before dipping in glaze.

Chocolate Glaze: In a double boiler over simmering water, place bowl of chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Dip one side of cooled donuts in chocolate glaze. Top with mini chocolate chips.

Note: These tasted better the next day.
