Chocolate Buttermilk Baked Donuts
Description
The Chocolate Buttermilk Baked Donuts recipe uses standard baking ingredients like flour and cocoa powder mixed with buttermilk and vegetable oil for moisture. The leaveners, baking soda and powder, help achieve a light and tender crumb. The batter is spooned into donut pans and baked at 350°F until the donuts spring back when gently pressed, indicating doneness.
After baking and cooling, the donuts are dipped in a glaze made from powdered sugar, cocoa powder, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. The glaze is thick enough to coat the donuts evenly and add a smooth chocolate finish. The resulting donuts have a soft texture with a slightly tangy chocolate flavor enhanced by the buttermilk.
This baked method avoids frying, making these donuts more convenient while maintaining a tender interior. They can be served for breakfast or as a snack. The recipe yields 12 donuts and includes estimated nutrition values.
