Baked Chocolate Crumb Donuts

Good Tuesday morning, my friend!  Did you catch my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe yesterday?  What a great way to kick off a new fall week.

And today we have baked chocolate crumb donuts!  I know I usually only post twice a week, but there are just SO many great things to bake in fall and winter, I have decided to step it up to three recipes throughout the next few months.  If you are an email subscriber and that feels like a bit much for your inbox, please shoot me an email or leave a comment at the bottom of this post.  I can set up a new system where you just get one big email at the end of each week, if there’s enough of a demand for that.

One of my all-time favorite recipes on this site is for Homemade Crumb Donuts.  They’re tender as can be, baked with sour cream and a hint of nutmeg, plus a cinnamon-y glaze and a crumbly streusel topping.  I love making (and eating) them, and so do my kids.  They were patterned after the Entenmann’s kind that you can buy at convenience stores.  (Way better though!)  And since they also have a chocolate crumb donut variety, I figured I should too.

INGREDIENTS

• For the baked chocolate donuts
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream (Greek yogurt can be substituted)
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the glaze
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk (I used 1%)
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the chocolate crumb topping
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the baked chocolate donuts:
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly mist a donut pan with non-stick spray.
3. Place the flour, cocoas, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.  
4. In a smaller bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla together.
