  • Granola gives a satisfying crunch.
  • Perfect for brunch, dessert, or a sweet snack.
  • Easy to make and customize!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries

How to Make Chocolate Glazed Donuts with Crunchy Topping

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped) and fill each donut cavity about halfway.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. While the donuts cool, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  8. Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the chocolate glaze, allowing the excess to drip off.
  9. Immediately sprinkle granola on top of the glaze, followed by a few fresh raspberries for garnish.
  10. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for maximum rise.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; it should be lumpy for the best texture.
  • Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the granola with crushed nuts or coconut flakes for different textures.
  • Use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a sweeter glaze.
  • Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Freshly brewed coffee or espresso for a perfect pairing.
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • A dollop of whipped cream to complement the flavors.
  • A fruit salad for a refreshing side.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm, gooey treat.
