- ¼ cup melted butter 🧈

For the Glaze:
- 1 cup chocolate chips 🍫
- ½ cup heavy cream 🧴
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar 🍚
Optional Garnish:
- Extra chocolate chips 🍫
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
4. Combine the Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolatey goodness.
5. Bake the Donuts:
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold halfway.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Prepare the Glaze:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream until hot (but not boiling).
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for a minute. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add powdered sugar and mix until combined.
7. Glaze the Donuts:
- Dip the tops of each cooled donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.
- Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top if desired.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the glaze to set slightly before serving. Enjoy your decadent chocolate donuts with a cup of coffee or milk! 🥛✨
Tips for Perfect Donuts:
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to dense donuts. Stir just until combined.
- Use a Piping Bag: For even, mess-free donuts, pipe the batter into the molds.
- Warm Glaze: Ensure the glaze is warm for easy dipping and a smooth finish.
- Store Properly: Keep donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Variations:
- Add Nuts: Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the glaze for extra texture.
- Different Flavors: Swap vanilla extract for almond or orange extract for a unique twist.
- Sprinkles: Add colorful sprinkles for a fun and festive touch.
