Triple Chocolate Baked Doughnuts

Triple Chocolate BAKED Doughnuts. .  SO good and so easy to make! Top them differently for an assortment of doughnuts!

As a food blogger, I have acquired and purchased many new things for my kitchen and baking essentials. One day I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond, armed with my 20% off coupons (I think I had 4 or 5 that day) and proceeded to purchase the following: a tart pan with removable bottom, a whoopie pie pan (don’t judge), a springform pan and a Wilton 6 cavity doughnut pan.

At the time, I had no idea when I would actually use these things but I knew I needed them. Plus, I got 20% off each one.

Back in March, I saw Melanie’s Triple Chocolate Baked Doughnuts and was floored. They looked so good. Since then, I have baked pumpkin doughnuts and other cake doughnuts that I topped with a MAPLE glaze and bacon bits. Yes, you heard me right. Don’t know what took me so long but I finally got around to baking these and I might never go back to deep fried doughnuts.

OK just kidding. Who am I kidding right? BUT seriously, these were delicious!! These are like chocolate cakes shaped like a doughnut. Shape anything into a doughnut and I would probably eat it. So, friends, you need to do TWO things here: #1: Buy a doughnut pan if you don’t have one already (they are like $8) and #2: Try this recipe! I hope you enjoy!

Triple Chocolate Baked Doughnuts

You can really top these with whatever you want. I might try a peanut butter glaze next time! This recipe should make about 15 doughnuts. Cook time is for 2 batches if you have a doughnut pan with only 6 wells or cavities.

Ingredients

For the doughnuts:

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup any kind chocolate chips or chunks I used semi-sweet

For the ganache:

  • 1 cup 6 ounces good quality chocolate, finely chopped OR semi-sweet or milk chocolate chip morsels
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ยฝ teaspoon vanilla extract

For toppings:

  • sprinkles of any kind
  • nuts: almond slivers hazelnut bits, almond slices, whatever you want

Instructions

For the doughnuts:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Coat a doughnut pan with non-stick spray. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together the buttermilk, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and use a rubber spatula to gently mix the ingredients together. Lastly, mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter to a large gallon size Ziploc bag; cut off a small corner and use the bag to pipe the doughnut cake batter into the pan, filling each well about 2/3 full (for bigger sized doughnuts; you can experiment but be careful not to overfill each well or cavity). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake tops spring back when touched. Cool completely on a wire rack.

For the chocolate ganache:

  • Place the chocolate pieces in a small bowl. Combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until small bubbles appear on the outside edge of the cream. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate. Using a wire whisk, gently stir until all of the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Once the doughnuts have cooled a bit, dip each one into the ganache, swirl a little to ensure good coverage and then place back on the wire rack. Sprinkle or decorate with nuts and/or any kind sprinkles and have fun!

    Holy #3*8d%j29d7!!! I want to swear, as I’m apt to do when I’m overly excited, but I should keep it family friendly here. These look crazy good. Like, ridiculously, insanely, over-the-top, balls-to-the-walls good. Like, I need to leave work RIGHT.NOW so that I can buy a doughnut pan. Making these has become my number one priority in life.

    We have the same addiction! Luckily, Frederick is kindly enough to stop me from this madness, otherwise I will always need a bigger pantry. Speaking of doughnuts, I like baked doughnuts better than fried…and makes me less guilty, lol. Love the triple chocolate – the more the merrier.

    Looks like you gave the Beyond part of the store a good shake. I have to make baked doughnuts Alice, I donยดt know what is taking me so long, maybe the idea that I will munch them all down in an hour… They look fantastic my friend! And if you say we must try this recipe, who am I to argue!
