    There's just something about donuts that everyone loves. Up until recently, I assumed everyone had a donut at least once in their life. Come to find out that some folks have never had a donut before and described them as "deep-fried bread". I guess they never heard of Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze!

    Sure they might not be as good as those from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts or Winchell's, but they are so easy to make you can have donuts whenever you want!

    This is not the first time I've made donuts in the comfort of my own home. I've made The Salvation Army Donuts, which is a classic recipe for great tasting donuts. If you've never had baked donuts, you need to know that they do not have the same consistency as donuts that are deep-fried.

    📋 What ingredients do I need

    You will need the following ingredients to make this Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze recipe (see recipe card for quantities): Active Dry Yeast, Water, All Purpose Flour, White Sugar, Baking Powder, Nutmeg, Sea Salt, Eggs, Vanilla Yogurt, Unsalted Butter, Vanilla Extract, Semisweet Chocolate, Unsalted Butter, Powdered Sugar, Vanilla Extract and Evaporated Milk.

    🥣 How do I make Baked Donuts with Chocolate Glaze

    Preheat over to 350°F. Coat a donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
    In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside.
    Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt In a medium mixing bowl.
    In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, melted butter, vanilla extract, and yeast mixture until well combined. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until completely incorporated.
    Transfer the batter to a disposable piping bag and pipe into the prepared donut pan, filling each a little over half full.
    Bake the donuts until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer the donuts from the pan to the wire rack.
    Heat the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until ingredients are melted. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk and whisk vigorously to combine. If it seems too thick, add a little more evaporated milk until the desired texture is reached. Remove the pan from the heat.
    Dip the top side of a donut into the glaze and twist to coat. Return to the wire rack and optionally cover with sprinkles. Allow glaze to dry for a few minutes before serving.
