Cook Time:

Servings:
12 Donuts
Ingredients
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup vanilla yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk, or more as needed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups assorted chocolate cereal
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. On a large baking sheet, put the donut molds on top and generously spritz them with cooking spray.
  3. To start the batter, in a large bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Whisk to combine the dry ingredients and set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, add the milk, yogurt, melted butter, and eggs.
  6. Whisk the wet ingredients together.
  7. Pour the wet mixture from the medium bowl into the large bowl. Whisk to combine with the dry ingredients.
  8. Pipe or spoon the batter into the donut molds, filling each well three-quarters of the way.
  9. Place the baking sheet with the filled donut molds in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  10. Once cool enough to handle, unmold the donuts and set them aside on a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Meanwhile, start the glaze. In a medium bowl, add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract.
  12. Whisk to combine. If the glaze is too thick, add another tablespoon of milk to thin it.
  13. Once the donuts have cooled completely, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and return to the wire rack to set and harden, about 10 minutes.
  14. Moving on to the topping, melt the chocolate chips over a double broiler or in the microwave at 20-second intervals until fully melted.
  15. Drizzle a donut with melted chocolate using a fork or a piping bag. Immediately sprinkle the donut with cereal before the chocolate cools. Repeat with the remaining donuts.
  16. Set aside the donuts until the chocolate has hardened before serving.
