INGREDIENTS

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ cup very hot water boiling

¼ cup cocoa powder

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 egg

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

¾ cup milk

⅓ cup mini chocolate chips

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

2 ½ teaspoons coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 175 degree C and lightly grease and flour a 12 count donut tin. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

pour hot water and immediately add cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Add egg and vanilla extract to cocoa mixture and whisk well.

Add milk and whisk until smooth.

Add chocolate mixture to dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently fold together until about halfway combined.

Add mini chocolate chips and continue to gently stir ingredients until just combined.

Pipe batter evenly into prepared donut molds.

Bake for 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of a donut comes out clean or with fudgy crumbs. Allow donuts to cool in pan for several minutes before carefully turning out to a cooling rack to cool completely before covering with glaze.

Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 25-second intervals, stirring well in between, until chocolate and oil are completely melted and mixture is smooth.

Dip the smooth surface of each donut entirely into the chocolate glaze. Return to a cooling rack for the glaze to set before enjoying. If desired, decorate glaze with sprinkles while icing is still wet.
