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!

How to Make Chocolate Chip Donuts

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!
