1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing)
vanilla extract
chocolate chips
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting or maple syrup for serving
. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
. Fill the donut pan: Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full with the batter. This will allow room for them to rise without overflowing.
7. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and remove: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serving suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste!
