Adorable and lightweight mini chocolate donuts dipped in a sweet vanilla glaze. This is an oven-baked donut recipe, so you'll feel less guilty consuming them.
In a bowl, whisk together egg, oil, milk, and vanilla.
1/2 cup milk, 2 tsps vanilla, 2 tbsp oil, 1 egg
Once well combined, add in cocoa powder, white sugar, flour, and baking soda. Continue mixing with a spatula until a chocolate batter forms.
1/3 cup white sugar, 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda
Pour chocolate batter into a piping bag or ziplock with the corner cut, and fill each donut cup 1/2 full. Don’t get crazy with this – the batter will rise quite a bit during baking!
Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the top springs back when touched.
To make the glaze, combine vanilla, milk, and icing sugar into a bowl and whisk until there are no lumps showing.
1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 5 tbsp milk*
While the donuts are still warm, dip and transfer onto a cooling rack until the glaze has set. You may dip again if desired, but this is optional.
Notes
*Add one tbsp at a time until desired consistency is reached
