On Saturday morning I wanted a donut in a I MUST have a donut right now, kind of way. A chocolate donut to be specific. But I was feeling lazy and hadn’t showered and didn’t want to get in the car and go buy some. So I hung out on Pinterest for a while and found this amazing recipe for chocolate donuts. It looked easy enough and I had all the ingredients on-hand. I figured if I hurried I could have a delicious, homemade chocolate donut in about 20 minutes.
I was right.
I decided to swap out my donut pan for mini muffins instead. I followed the recipe really closely, but passed on the glaze mainly because I was lazy. Dipping the tops of the muffins in sugar seemed much easier. And honestly, these muffins were so tasty and sweet they didn’t even need a glaze or a sugar dip.
This will undoubtedly be my go-to chocolate donut (and muffin) recipe from now on.
