Chocolate Chip Donuts
BAKED Chocolate Chip Donuts are AMAZING! This easy recipe makes fluffy delicious homemade donuts that are ready in 10 minutes! Mini chocolate chips are baked inside the donuts with the best chocolate frosting on top! I’m in love with these double chocolate donuts!
It’s been a little while since my last donut recipe, but don’t worry, I’ve been eating my share of donuts! With T-Minus 30 days before the baby comes (if she’s on time!) I’ve having my share of sweet tooth cravings. This past weekend I was craving chocolate chips and donuts so I decided to combine these 2 beautiful worlds and make these Chocolate Chip Chocolate Frosted Donuts which are amazing! I think you’re going to love them!
The donuts themselves are a vanilla cake donut with mini chocolate chips baked in. Each bite gives you a little bit of chocolate chip taste – yum!
On top I spread my favorite chocolate frosting that is also a reader favorite! What we’re left with is some extra soft, moist, chocolate chip donuts that have just the right amount of frosting on top!
Chocolate Chip Donuts recipe
For this recipe I’d suggest using mini chocolate chips as they are size appropriate for the donuts but if you only have normal size they would work in a pinch too.
Mix them into the dough with a spoon and your batter will be ready. Who else can’t resist a spoonful of batter before they bake the donuts?
Fill up each donut pan spot about 90% of the way. I always clean off the donut pan hole part as it will bake a cleaner donut.
And what comes out of your oven only 10 minutes later are fluffy beautiful looking chocolate chip donuts!
Make your chocolate frosting in a bowl and you can dunk each donut into it or spread with a knife on each donut.
I like to add a few extra mini chocolate chips on top of each donut for taste and appearance.
Each donut has just the perfect combination of chocolate and vanilla and your heart is going to melt when you tear into a donut and see it’s filled with chocolate chips!
Enjoy these Chocolate Chip Chocolate Frosted Donuts!
PS. If you don’t have a donut pan, invest in two– trust me, it’s worth it for these donuts! It’s one of my favorite kitchen tools!

Ingredients
For the donuts
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
For the chocolate frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
For the donuts
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a donut pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add milk, eggs, vanilla and butter, continuing to beat it until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spoon.
- Pour batter into donut pan (I fill each up about 90%). Bake for 10 minutes in the oven. Remove from oven and allow to cool, about 10-15 minutes.
- Once donuts are cool, remove from pan and dip them into the frosting or use a knife to spread the frosting on top of each one.

For the frosting
- In a bowl using a hand mixer, mix together powdered sugar and butter until creamed well. Add milk and cocoa powder and continue to mix until creamy and well combined.

I need this in my life, like, yesterday. Anything with mini chocolate chips is divine, but in a donut? I’d eat the whole batch 🙂
I love my donut pan, and this looks like an amazing way to put it to good use. Any donut with chocolate chips and frosting has my name on it.
Pinned! Sounds amazing! 🙂

I love those chocolate chips inside these delicious donuts and I’m seriously tempted to buy a donut pan now!
Yes, please! I would love to sink my teeth into that gorgeous chocolate frosting. And it’s a plus that these are baked, not fried.
These look so good! I’m afraid I’d eat an entire pan by myself. Still pinned so I can make them later, though. 😉
Looks yummy. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I’m not pregnant-but lately I sure have been craving donuts. These look definitely worth craving!
These are just too amazing. Love the height of these doughnuts, Adoring!!!
I just love how soft, fluffy and delicious these doughnuts look. Better still they are baked and not fried, I am definitely getting one of these doughnut pans. LOVE IT!
I am not pregnant but I love anything chocolate, and these donuts look droolicious, Pamela. Will try them for sure.
These look fantastic. I love the texture of the frosting, too, and the generous amount of it. <3
Well, Pamela, any recipe that has “donut” in the name once and “chocolate” in it twice is something I need in my life. Pinned! 🙂 #Coffee&Conversation
I can’t wait to try these this weekend.
That sounds like a great weekend Lindsay!
Congrats on the baby!! I hope all goes well. These donuts look so good, I love that there are chocolate chips inside the batter as well as on top of that delicious frosting. Take care.
Pamela – wow – you are in the home stretch – and still churning out delicious eats like these light and fluffy, decadent donuts! As a chocoholic myself, am so loving that chocolate chip + chocolate frosting going on here!
Congratulations on the little one! These donuts look fantastic…I can’t wait to give them a try with my daugther this summer. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!

Thinking of you as you get close to your baby’s arrival. What an exciting time! Love these donuts – they look so tasty, they are so quick and easy, and they are baked! Pinning and sharing on our Hearth and Soul Facebook page. Thank you so much for being a part of Hearth and Soul.
Those donuts look so good! I need to go out and buy a donut pan. I have a Babycakes mini donut maker. Do you think this recipe might work in that?
Hey Shelley, I’ve never used that donut maker but I would imagine it would be ok – you just have to play around with times. Let me know how they turn out!
These look amazing!!!
I didn’t even know they had donut shaped pans!
Thanks for sharing!
That looks so yummy.
You had me at “chocolate chip”, but then you said “donut”! Oh my goodness — these donuts look absolutely delicious!
I have made to many donuts in my life! But these are so pretty
Now I’m drooling over my keyboard! These look absolutely delicious!!!
These look so awesome! I have a mini donut pan but I’m thinking for these, I need a full sized 🙂
Okay– used your affiliate link and bought that donut pan, finally! The full sized ones always just look better than the tiny ones! Plus, I’ve made coconut flour ones and they stick too much to the mini pan.
This looks like a great sweet treat. 🙂
