  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (67g) packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g/ml) milk, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream or plain yogurt, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • optional: rainbow sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a donut pan with nonstick spray. Prepare a second pan or bake in batches as needed.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, brown sugar, milk, and sour cream/yogurt until smooth. Add the melted butter and vanilla, then stir together with the dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Transfer the donut batter to a zip-top plastic bag, cut off a corner, and pipe the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling them about 1/2–2/3 full.
  5. Bake the donuts for 9–10 minutes until they spring back when pressed. Cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool before glazing.
  6. To make the glaze, combine the chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, and water in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second increments until melted and smooth.
  7. Dip the tops of cooled donuts into the glaze and add sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately or allow the glaze to set.

Notes

These donuts are best enjoyed the same day they are made.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for 1–2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Feel free to customize your toppings with various sprinkles or toppings of choice.
