Baked Chocolate Donuts are moist, fluffy, and super simple to make in under 30 minutes. They're a double chocolate baked treat that rivals a fried donut any day!
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray, or rub with oil. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, mix egg, sugar, and Greek yogurt.
Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until ingredients are all combined. Don’t overmix.
Add melted butter and milk. Mix well.
Add the remaining flour mixture. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated, but do not overmix.
Transfer batter to a piping bag (or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off) and pipe into the donut pan. Fill the pan about 2/3 full.
Cook in preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.
Cool the donuts in the pan for 3-4 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
For the glaze
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals, mixing well after each interval, about 1 minute and 30 seconds total.
Once the chocolate is melted, add butter, cream, and vanilla extract.
Mix well until you have a smooth texture. If you need to, put the mixture in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Take a cooled donut and dip the top part in the glaze.
Set back on the cooling rack.
Sprinkle with sprinkles for decorations.
Notes
Turbinado sugar can be substituted with white granulated sugar.
Greek yogurt can be substituted with vanilla yogurt or regular yogurt.
Using a pipping bag to fill the donut pan makes it easier, however not required. You can use a Ziploc bag, filled it up and cut the corner. Using a spoon work as well.
