How to Make Chocolate Glazed Donuts
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack.
- If desired, immediately sprinkle with colorful sprinkles before the glaze sets. Let the glaze firm up for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for the Best Results

- Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
