Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix brown sugar, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing gently. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
