Description
Rich, cakey, and chocolatey, these baked Glazed Chocolate Donut Holes are bite-sized treats dipped in a silky chocolate glaze. Perfect for brunch spreads, dessert tables, or an anytime indulgence, they come together quickly and disappear just as fast.
Ingredients
0.75 cup all-purpose flour
0.25 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
0.5 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze)
3 tablespoons heavy cream (for glaze)
optional sprinkles or crushed candy for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin or donut hole pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Spoon or pipe batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let donut holes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. To make glaze, heat heavy cream until just simmering and pour over chocolate chips.
9. Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
10. Dip cooled donut holes into the glaze, allow excess to drip, then top with sprinkles.
11. Let glaze set before serving.
Notes
These donut holes freeze well—store in an airtight container and glaze after thawing.
Use a piping bag or mini scoop to portion the batter evenly and reduce mess.
Let the glaze set fully before stacking or storing to keep the coating neat.
