Best 5 Glazed Chocolate Donuts Recipes

GLAZED CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray 11 donut cups with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat in 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, eggs, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer. Beat until well blended.
• Pour batter into a zip-top bag and cut off 1 corner. Fill each donut cup about 3/4 full using the zip-top bag.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• While donuts cool, combine 1/4 cup butter, cream, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is completely melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in bittersweet and semisweet chocolate until melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar to combine. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and let cool and set, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Doughnuts:.
• In large bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat eggs until light in color and well combined, about a minute, add the sugar, butter, and buttermilk and beat until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined, do not overmix.
• Add the flour mixture and continue to mix just until dough comes together.
• Lightly flour a work surface and roll dough to 1/2-inch thick. Using a flour dipped 3-inch round cutter, cut out doughnuts. Use a flour dipped 1/2-inch round cutter to cut centers. (reserve centers for doughnut holes) Transfer cut doughnuts to a flour-dusted baking sheet.
• Top a cooling rack with a layer of paper towels, and place over a rimmed sheet tray. Attach a deep-frying thermometer to the side of large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, heat 2-inches of oil, over medium-high, to 375°F Add doughnuts to the oil, being careful not to overcrowd, fry until doughnuts float to the surface of the oil, then continue to fry until golden about two minutes more. Turn doughnuts over and fry until the other side is golden, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
• Glaze:.
• In a small saucepan over low warm milk to a simmer. Pour warm milk into a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in confectioners sugar, vanilla and salt until smooth and glossy. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water until thin and smooth, about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Using your fingers, or tongs fully submerge each doughnut in the glaze. Place each glazed doughnut on a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet. Allow glaze to dry for at least 1 hour. Serve within a day.

DARK CHOCOLATE GLAZED DONUTS

Steps:

• Dark Chocolate Glaze: Add a couple inches of water to a medium pot and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Into a large mixing bowl, add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and salt. Snugly fit the bowl on top of the pot to make a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water; whisk until almost completely combined and smooth, 2-3 minutes. Stir in chocolate and continue whisking until smooth. Set aside. (Note: Glaze can be made in advance, cooled, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat over double boiler when ready to use.)
• Make donut batter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add egg yolks and sugar. Mix on medium speed just to combine, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture is pale and fluffy and ribbons start to form, about 3 minutes. Reduce to medium speed, then slowly stream in the melted butter and buttermilk; mix until combined, about 5 seconds.
• Turn the mixer off. Add dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and baharat. Mix on low speed just to combine, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing until batter is smooth and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl, 20 to 30 seconds.
• Prepare a work surface by taping a 12" x 16" sheet of parchment paper to your counter to keep it from slipping. Generously dust the parchment with flour. (Keep extra flour nearby to use as needed. You'll dust off excess flour before frying, so don't skimp.) Scrape down the paddle attachment and turn all the batter out onto the floured surface. The batter will be very sticky and loose. Dust the top of the batter with more flour, including the edges; flour your hands thoroughly. Place a second piece of parchment paper on top of the flour-dusted batter. Roll the batter between the parchment paper into a ½-inch thick rectangle, about 10" x 14". Using only the weight of the rolling pin itself, very gently ease it along the parchment paper-first from top to bottom, then from side to side-to evenly flatten the batter without rolling it too thin. Once you've achieved the right thickness, slide the dough (still sandwiched between parchment) onto an overturned baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• Preheat the frying oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add 2-3 inches of oil. Clip a deep fry thermometer onto the side of the pot and heat oil to 350 F. After at least 30 minutes, remove dough from freezer. Generously dust your work surface with flour. Peel the top layer of parchment off the dough. (It's ok if some of it sticks-just be gentle and persistent!) Flip the baking sheet with dough onto the floured surface, so the bottom piece of parchment is now on top. Remove this layer of parchment and use a pastry brush to brush excess flour off dough.
• Cut donuts: Working quickly, use two sizes of ring cutters to make the donut shapes. Flouring the cutters well and often to prevent sticking, stamp out as many 2.75-inch circles as possible; then use the 1-inch cutter for the holes. The dough scraps can be gathered together, re-rolled and cut for more donuts.
• Fry the donuts: Carefully lift the dough rings with a spatula and slide them into the oil, about 4 at a time, depending on the size of your pot. After about 1 minute, the edges will begin to brown; flip the donuts and fry for another minute, then flip again and fry until golden brown and delightfully puffy, another 30 seconds. (Total frying time for each donut will be about 2½ minutes.) Transfer donuts to a rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Repeat with remaining donuts and donut holes. (Donut holes take 60 to 90 seconds and tend to flip themselves.)
• Glaze the donuts: Warm up the chocolate glaze in a double boiler and stir until smooth. Hold the bottom of the donut with your fingertips and submerge the top in warm glaze, a little more than halfway. Lift the donut from the glaze, then transfer to a wire rack, glazed side up, allowing the excess glaze to cascade down the sides. Allow glaze to set completely before serving, 10-15 minutes. After the donuts are cool, store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

• Combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a wide, medium bowl. Add the almond milk, about 2 tablespoons at a time, until the glaze is smooth, but thick enough to set on top of the donuts.
• Dip the top of each donut in the glaze and return to baking rack to let any excess glaze drip off.

• Enjoy!

BAKED & GLAZED CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP DONUTS {GLUTEN & TOP 8 ALLERGY FREE} RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease your donut pan thoroughly and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients - flour, pancake mix, xantham gum, then brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Once mixed, begin adding your wet ingredients in the same bowl - vanilla, applesauce, then oil. Give the batter a mix together to begin to combine before adding the non-dairy milk. Batter should have a pudding like consistency. Stir in the chocolate chips. Fill donut pan FULL using all the batter. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the tops before baking. Do not open the oven to check for the first ten minutes - let them bake! They will only take 14-16 minutes. Use a toothpick to check their "doneness". Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least five minutes. Use a knife to loosen the donuts, then transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling. Serve and enjoy or add optional glaze. For the optional glaze: Begin preparing while donuts are in the oven. This way it has time to thicken while they are cooling. In a medium size bowl, mix together the confectioners sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and non-dairy milk. Once donuts have cooled, dunk into glaze - allowing excess to drip off, and let set on parchment paper until glaze hardens before serving.
