Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.

  2. Heat Oil: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).

  3. 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.

  4. Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar: While the donuts are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
