Baked Chocolate Donuts

I love donuts and have pinned many donut recipes since buying my own mini donut pan.  I LOVE the miniature size!  They bake quickly and the donuts are very popable :)

Here's my recipe:

Ingredients:.

3 c flour

3/4 c sugar

1/2 c cocoa powder

1 t baking soda

1/2 t salt

3/4 c milk

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

3 T melted butter

3 T chocolate syrup
*You can add in some plain greek yougurt to make them extra moist.

 Icing Ingredients:

1-2 T milk

1/4 c melted butter

1 t vanilla

1 T chocolate syrup

2 t corn syrup

1/2 cup chocolate chips

2-3 cups powdered sugar
sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, etc.
*You want your glaze to be kind of thick so be careful not to add too much milk.

Directions:

Stir all of the donut ingredients together until well blended.  Grease donut pan and fill with batter.  It's easiest to pipe the batter into the pan so you can use an icing bag or cut the tip off of a Ziploc bag.  Bake at 325 for 8 minutes.  Make the icing while the donuts bake.  Mix all ingredients except for the powdered sugar in a saucepan on the stove adding in the chocolate last.  Once the chocolate is melted whisk in the powdered sugar a little at a time off the heat.  Once donuts have cooled on wax paper spoon the icing on top of each donut.   Add sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, etc.  Let donuts dry and eat.

*Donuts were best shortly after the icing dried.  They got a little soggy the next day.
