Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsweetened Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Zulka Morena Pure Cane sugar (GMO), or white sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup almond milk or milk
• 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Nielsen Massey Chocolate Extract or Nielson Massey vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons Nielsen Massey vanilla extract
• 3-4 tablespoons almond milk or milk
• Oreo crumbles for top of donuts

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.
Sift the cocoa powder into a large bowl, then add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk all together. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt or sour cream, and chocolate or vanilla extract. Add in the melted butter and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir them together until just combined.
Take a large ziplock, snip an inch hole in corner and spoon the batter into the bag, then pipe the donut dough into the greased doughnut pan filling each well about 3/4 of the way full. You can also use a spoon, or a pastry bag to do this as well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted comes out clean.
Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the Oreo Vanilla Frosting.
