Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg

Frosting

  • 3 tablespoons butter cut into half inch squares
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips dark chocolate is my preferred type of chocolate chip
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare your donut pan by spraying with cooking spray, set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown and white sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until mixed together. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together milk, egg, canola oil, and vanilla.
  • Beat the dry ingredients with the milk mixture until the batter is well combined and smooth.
  • Pour batter into a large Ziploc bag, snip off a tiny section of the corner, and “pipe” the batter about 2/3 full into the donut pan. Place in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes.
  • Remove donuts from oven and set pan on cooling rack. After a few minutes remove donuts from pan and let them completely cool.

Frosting

  • In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl over a pot of simmering water combine butter, chocolate chips, and honey. Stir until completely melted and well incorporated.
  • Once ganache is done and donuts are cool, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and turn over, back onto the cooling rack ganache side up and immediately top with mini chocolate chips. Allow glaze to harden, 15-20 minutes or like our family, serve right away… yum!
