Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 3 oz dark chocolate melted
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chunks or bittersweet chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Spray donut molds with nonstick cooking spray - I prefer the silicone version since the donuts come out easier and don't stick
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, sugar, brown sugar and baking powder
  • Whisk together buttermilk, sour cream, oil, melted chocolate, and eggs until smooth in a medium bowl.
  • Gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in mini chocolate chips if you'd like an extra chocolatey donut.
  • Spoon or pipe the donut batter mixture into the greased donut pan, filling each about 3/4 full. Don't overfill or your batter will spill over the top.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, remove from the molds, and place onto a cooling rack for 5 minutes. Once cooled move them onto a sheet of parchment paper
  • GLAZE
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth
  • Strawberry Chocolate Crunch Topping
  • Place strawberries and cookies into a large ziploc bag and using the back of spoon, crush into fine pieces
  • Place crushed cookies and strawberries in a small bowl and mix
  • Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off.
  • Immediately sprinkle the crunch over the top of each donut while the glaze is wet.
