Chocolate Glazed Donuts with Cinnamon
These chocolate donuts are such a treat for a birthday or to make any afternoon or morning extra special!
Ingredients
Donut Batter Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 cup cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 eggs
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Chocolate Glaze
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoons milk
Topping
- Sprinkles!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 and spray your donut tins with cooking spray!
- First off, melt your butter so that it can begin to cool. Next mix together the milk and cream of tartar.
- Mix together the dry ingredients, flour, cacao powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar.
- In a separate bowl mix together the milk and cream of tartar, butter, and vanilla.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients then pour the batter into the donut pans and bake for 11-13 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overfill the pans as you could result in full pans and no donut hole!
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. While cooling make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, cacao powder, cinnamon, vanilla, then 4 tablespoons of milk.
- Dip the cooled donuts then sprinkle them, allow to cool so the glaze hardens some, and enjoy!
Notes
You can opt to make these without the cinnamon if you prefer. I like the extra notes and how cinnamon and chocolate go together!
