Okay, picture this: It's a lazy Sunday morning. You're craving something sweet, but you can't decide between a rich brownie and a classic doughnut. What if I told you that you don't have to choose? These brownie doughnuts are the answer to your indecisiveness. They're incredibly easy to make (even if you're not a seasoned baker – trust me, I’m not always!) and deliver a serious chocolate punch. These are one of my go to's when i need something sweet quick.
What makes these brownie doughnuts so special? Well, it's all about the texture. They're dense and fudgy like a brownie but have that delightful doughnut shape that makes them feel extra special. And let's not forget the glaze! A simple chocolate glaze takes these treats to the next level, making them irresistible. What could be more fun and engaging than making homemade doughnuts? It's a delightful project to get kids involved, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Think about it—laughter, sprinkles, and the sweet aroma of baking chocolate filling your home.
I once brought these to a friend's potluck, and they were gone in minutes! Even my friend Sarah, who claims she's 'not a sweets person', devoured two of them. That's when I knew I had a winning recipe. Plus, these brownie doughnuts are surprisingly versatile. You can customize them with different toppings, glazes, or even add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter. The sky's the limit! Feel free to share your creations in the comments. What are some fun variations you've tried? I'm always eager to hear new ideas and inspiration. Let’s keep the doughnut love going!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.
- Grease a doughnut pan generously with cooking spray. This will prevent the doughnuts from sticking. I sometimes use a little bit of melted butter and flour too.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough doughnuts. I've made that mistake before!
- Stir in the chocolate chips. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding chopped nuts or other mix-ins.
- Pour the batter into a large zip-top bag or piping bag. Snip off a corner of the bag, creating a makeshift piping tool.
- Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Be careful not to overfill.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
- Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from breaking apart.
- While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Dip each cooled doughnut into the chocolate glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed doughnuts back on the wire rack.
- Sprinkle the doughnuts with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips. Get creative!
- Let the glaze set completely before serving. Enjoy your delicious brownie doughnuts!
📝 Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to the batter for a mocha twist.
