Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 6-cavity donut pan with 1 teaspoon of butter and set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside. (3 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of buttermilk, cooled strong brewed coffee, large egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Whisk until just blended and smooth, being careful not to overmix. Gently stir in the chocolate chips. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the batter to a large, resealable plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the bag and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when gently pressed. (8 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the donut pan from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn the pan over directly onto the rack to release the donuts. Allow to cool for an additional 5 minutes before serving or glazing. (10 minutes)

For best results, use a good quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Ensure your coffee is cooled before adding it to the wet ingredients to prevent cooking the egg.
Do not overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to tough donuts. Mix until just combined.
If you don't have a donut pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the baking time may need to be adjusted.
Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins like chopped nuts or sprinkles for a personalized touch.
