dark magic donuts recipe - A stack of deep dark chocolate donuts with a shiny chocolate glaze on a dark background.

Dark Magic Donuts

A rich, obsidian-colored baked donut made with Dutch-process cocoa and espresso, perfect for a mystical breakfast.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp espresso powder
2 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (melted for glaze)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-count donut pan with non-stick spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, Dutch-process cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until no flour streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe it into the donut cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
Step 7: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

Notes

Ensure you use Dutch-process cocoa for the darkest color and smoothest flavor.
