Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Chocolate Glazed Donuts
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- While the donuts cool, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the melted chocolate glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds while the glaze is still wet.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
- Do not overbake the donuts; check them a minute or two before the timer goes off.
- Experiment with different types of toppings, like chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the glaze for a mocha twist.
What to Serve With It
- Freshly brewed coffee or espresso
- A glass of cold milk
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert
- Sliced strawberries or raspberries for a fruity contrast
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag, where they can last for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy them warm.
