Ingredients

For the Doughnuts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour , spooned & leveled
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted & cooled to room temperature
  • cup milk , room temperature (buttermilk preferred or 1%, 2% or whole)
  • 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt , room temperature, or sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar , ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons

For the Chocolate Dip

  • ½ cup chocolate chips , dark or semi-sweet
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon cream , heavy cream, whipping cream or half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • chocolate sprinkles for decorating , optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 6 cavity doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda & salt. Set aside.
  • In a second medium-sized bowl whisk together the egg, melted butter, milk, yogurt/sour cream, instant coffee powder, vanilla & packed brown sugar. Make sure the coffee powder has dissolved and there are no sugar clumps.
  • Fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture using a large wooden spoon or rubber spatula, then give the batter a quick whisk to ensure everything is well mixed. Spoon the batter into the prepared doughnut pan. Or pour/spoon the batter into a large ziplock bag, cut off the bottom corner of the ziplock bag, then pipe the batter into the doughnut pan. Fill each cavity to about ⅔ full - you should get about 6 to 8 doughnuts total.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the doughnut feels slightly firm when touched gently with your finger tips. Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and continue cooling on a wire rack.
  • While the doughnuts are cooling, make the glaze. Add all the ingredients to a double boiler and melt together over low heat while stirring occasionally. Alternately, add all the ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30 second bursts while stirring after each. Once everything is melted, whisk together until smooth.
  • Dip the tops of the doughnuts in the glaze, and optionally decorate with chocolate sprinkles.
