MOCHA CHOCOLATE CHIP DONUTS

I realized this week that I haven’t used my donut pan in a while, so I dug it out of the box in the basement. No wonder I do not use it very often…out of sight, out of mind.

That’s how the veggies in our refrigerator must feel too. Yeah, I should probably be eating more of those healthy veggies instead of donuts, but what fun would that be?
To get the mocha flavor, I substituted coffee in place of the orange juice in these Orange Julius donuts.  I use that base recipe to create all kinds of different fun flavors in our kitchen. Then to really amp up the coffee flavor, I also dipped the tops of the donuts in a coffee glaze. These donuts will get you going in the morning, especially if you have them with a cup of coffee. There are pockets of chocolate chips throughout the donuts, and more chocolate drizzles on top of the glaze.
