Baked chocolate donut holes with chocolate glaze to boot. Coffee's best friend. —Erin Jeanne McDowell
Ingredients
- For the donut holes:
-
1 cup
all-purpose flour
-
3 tablespoons
dark cocoa powder
-
3/4 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1 pint
salt
-
1/4 cup
sugar
-
1/4 cup
brown sugar
-
1/2 cup
buttermilk

1
egg

4 tablespoons
butter, melted
-
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
- For the chocolate glaze:
-
1 cup
powdered sugar, sifted
-
2 tablespoons
dark cocoa powder
-
3 tablespoons
whole milk, or more as needed
Directions
-
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and brown sugar together to combine.
-
In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, butter, and vanilla to combine. Add it to the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth.
-
Pour batter into donut hole molds, filling each hole 2/3 of the way. Attach the top of the pan, and bake in a 350° F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 12 to 14 minutes.
-
Cool 10 minutes inside the pan, then unmold and cool completely.

In a small bowl, whisk the glaze ingredients together to combine. Dip the donuts in the glaze to coat, and then let set for 5 to 10 minutes.
I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!
