Ingredients
For the Donuts:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp baking soda
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 cup buttermilk
-
1 large egg
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Oil for frying
For the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Chocolate Drizzle:
-
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
-
Make Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Heat Oil: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
-
Fry Donuts: Drop spoonfuls of the batter (or use a piping bag) into the hot oil, frying the donuts for about 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
-
Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar: While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
-
Make Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
-
Drizzle & Serve: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the donuts and allow it to set before serving. Enjoy these crispy, sweet, and chocolaty delights!
Notes
-
Donut texture: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
-
Substitute options: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5–10 minutes.
-
Baking option: For a less indulgent version, you can bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
-
Customizations: Add your favorite toppings like sprinkles or chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
