Many of you have been wondering when we'd come up with a chocolate version of our popular baked doughnut recipe — and here it is. Moist, dense, and dark, these doughnuts are everything a chocolate lover could want.

Chocolate Fudge Cake Doughnuts

(43 grams) Dutch-process cocoa

(160 grams) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

(160 grams) light brown sugar packed

espresso powder

chocolate chips

(76 grams) milk

vinegar white or cider

unsalted butter

These have the texture of a cake donut, or are similar to a muffin. I like my Wilton Donut Pan for this recipe. Adapted from Better Homes &amp; Gardens

Raspberry Lemon Baked Doughnuts

all-purpose flour

sugar

plain whole milk yogurt or milk

butter

egg,

raspberries

lemon peel

Optional Yogurt Frosting: 1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt sugar

Sprinkles, optional

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and coat a donut pan with nonstick spray.

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine.

Add the yogurt, butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Stir gently. Fold in the raspberries and lemon peel and stir gently to just combine. (This batter is thick and it may look too thick, but keep gently stirring to bring it together.

Portion out into the donut pan, dividing the batter among each of the 6 rounds and spreading so the batter is somewhat evenly distributed.

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 2 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges of each doughnut and carefully flip onto a wire rack to cool fully.

Optional frosting: Stir together the yogurt and powdered sugar in a bowl. Spoon into a zip top plastic bag. Seal and cut off one of the bottom corners to make a piping bag. Drizzle over the donuts and add sprinkles.

Another hit with my family, not just my toddler! While I was mixing the batter I was worried that it might be too thick (even with the warning), but these baked up nicely. (I used a mini muffin pan and baked the muffins for 12 minutes.) Thanks again, Amy!

I made muffins since I don’t have a donut pan... yet! Toddler and I both loved them perfect amount of sweet with lemon and a great snack at 20 weeks pregnant 😉. Only change was I used cream cheese for the frosting since it sounded good! Thanks for all your recipes!

Family devoured them!  Perfect amount of sweet and fresh. Perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast!

So yummy! My 4 year old ate them up! Definitely make the yogurt icing!!

These came out very good! I ended up turning the recipe into a paleo one.  I replaced the flour with paleo flour from Bob Mills, regular sugar with coconut sugar and milk with almond milk. I didn’t have a big lemon so I did a combination of lemon zest and lemon juice. They didn’t raise as much as in the video - probably because of home made baking powder but I loved them because they are now very sweet and not very dense as other paleo recipes I tried before. My son had one with a little bit of  Simple Mills Vanilla Frosting. 
I  will make them again!

Bright Raspberry Baked Donuts with a burst of fresh lemon flavor.

Baked Raspberry Donuts

This basic muffin is not your stir-it-gently, dense, fruit-and-nut-filled health muffin. Instead, it's a beat-it-up, cake-type muffin, high-crowned and very "vanilla-looking." This is a great muffin for kids (young or old) who don't want a lot of "stuff" in their muffins. With its basic sugar-cinnamon-nutmeg flavor, it's more reminiscent of a plain doughnut (without the deep-fat frying) than anything else. 
As plain as it is (which is just the way some people like things), it's a good candidate for additions of dried fruit and/or nuts to the batter, as well as a garnish of flavorful jam or preserves when serving time rolls around.

This soft and chewy baked doughnuts use yeast to rise and are baked without using doughnut pan. A healthier version than the deep fried doughnuts that you will surely love.

Baked Doughnuts without using doughnut pan

+ 2 tablespoons warm milk ((95°-110°F/35°-43°C))

active dry yeast / instant yeast

butter (- melted at room temperature)

flour

vanilla extract ((optional))

cinnamon powder ((optional))

nutmeg ((optional))

chocolate

all-purpose cream (or heavy cream)

white chocolate

milk ((or coffee creamer))

In a large bowl (or that of an electric mixer if using one), combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir until well blended. This is to proof the yeast. Let it sit for some minutes until foam forms on the surface, then you know that your yeast is activated.

Add the butter, egg and flour and mix using a wooden spoon (or beat with the dough hook attachment) for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add the rest of ingredients and mix for another 1-2 minutes.

Dump dough on the counter and knead for about 3-5 minutes, adding flour or milk if needed. Do not overflow. If still too sticky, just go on kneading without adding any more flour and it will become less sticky eventually. It should be soft, smooth and only slightly sticky.

Form into a ball and place in a greased bowl and cover with cloth or towel and let rise for an hour or until it has doubled its size.

Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured counter up to about half an inch thick. Cut out circles using a doughnut or round cookie cutter. Transfer the cut doughnuts into the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the tray and let them rise the second time for about 45 minutes. You can cut smaller circles from the leftover dough and bake them with the holes as is or roll them all together one more time to make more doughnuts.

Bake the doughnuts at 375°F/180°C for 8-10 minutes. The bottom should only be slightly browned while the top is still pale. This makes it chewier.

While doughnuts are baking, prepare the dip frosting. Combine the chocolate and cream in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 10 seconds and then stir until the chocolate melts completely. Heat for another 5-10 seconds if not warm enough but not more. Follow same for white chocolate, but only add the powdered sugar and milk after melting the white chocolate in the cream.

Once the doughnuts and dips have cooled down to room temperature, dip the top half of the doughnut in the frosting then put them back in a tray as they might drip a bit. Design or top with whatever or however you fancy but be quick before the frosting starts to set.

Baked, not fried, these chocolate doughnuts are easy to make and even easier to enjoy.

Baked chocolate doughnuts

(1 cup) plain flour

(1/3 cup) caster sugar

tsp baking powder

milliliters (1/4 cup) milk

butter, melted

egg, lightly whisked

Dark Chocolate, finely chopped

milliliters (1/2 cup) thickened cream

These Raspberry Doughnuts are gluten-free and dairy-free. Utterly moreish and tender of crumb with a bright fruity flavour.

Raspberry Doughnuts {gluten-free, dairy-free}

240 ml non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

lemon juice

150 g caster sugar

60 g coconut oil

eggs (room temperature)

gluten-free oat flour

tapioca flour

g potato starch

raspberry powder

bicarbonate of soda

190 g icing sugar

rose petals (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 170°C /160°C  fan/gas mark 4.

Lightly grease the doughnut tin with non-stick cooking spray.

Pour the non-dairy milk and the lemon juice into a large jug and whisk together. Leave for five minutes for the milk to sour.

Whisk the caster sugar, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla extract into the jug and set aside for a moment.

Sift the oat flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, raspberry powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl, whisking to combine.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients then pour the wet ingredients into it, using a wooden spoon to bring the batter together. Beat by hand until the batter is smooth and thickened.

Pour the batter carefully into each doughnut ring in the tin, filling to about three-quarters full.

Bake for 8 minutes.

Remove from the oven, leave for a couple of minutes for the doughnuts to settle then gently insert them out of the tin to cool on a cooling rack.

Wash the tin, re-grease and make the second batch, then the same again for the final 3 doughnuts.

Place the raspberries in a medium sized saucepan and heat gently until the raspberries have broken down into pulp.

Sieve the raspberry pulp, discarding the seeds.

Mix the raspberry puree with the icing sugar until a thick icing has formed and spoon over the cooled doughnuts. Leave the icing to set for at least an hour and decorate with rose petals if you like.

Boiled cider — apple cider boiled until it's thick as molasses — lends its wonderful flavor to these tender, moist cake doughnuts. Better still, the doughnuts are baked, not fried, so no need to stand over a pot of spattering oil. A thick maple (or cider) glaze is the perfect final touch, but feel free to simply dust with cinnamon-sugar instead, if desired.
