Instructions

For the Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray donut tins well with nonstick spray. Set aside. For 18 donuts, I used donut tins that make 3-inch-sized donuts.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the cake mix, nutmeg, egg, and butter together.
  3. Add in all of the buttermilk and beat on low until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until mixed well.
  5. Place the donut batter into a large piping bag and pipe the batter into the wells of the donut tins. Fill each donut well up only ¾ of the way full so they have room to grow without overflowing.
  6. Bake in the oven for 15-16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 15 minutes in the tin before removing from the tin to cool completely. Let cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting

  1. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat the powdered sugar, butter, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pipe the icing over the cooled donuts.

Notes

  • Storage: Store chocolate chip baked donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
