Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Donut Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Chocolate Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and spray a donut pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, brown sugar, milk, and yogurt until smooth. Add melted butter and vanilla, mixing until combined.
Cooking
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  2. Fill the donut pan using a large zipped-top bag, filling the cavities 2/3 to 3/4 full.
  3. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
  4. Remove the donuts from the pan and let them cool slightly before glazing.
Serving
  1. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter, corn syrup, and water. Melt in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  2. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the chocolate glaze and cover with rainbow sprinkles.
  3. Enjoy the donuts fresh, or store them for up to 2 days at room temperature.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon. Ensure melted butter is not too hot when mixing in the egg. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
