Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and coat a doughnut pan with grease to prevent sticking.
- Sift together dry ingredients – flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt – ensuring even distribution of components.
- Create a separate mixture by whisking milk, coffee, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well integrated.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated to maintain a light texture and prevent overmixing.
- Carefully distribute batter into the doughnut pan, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full for optimal rising.
- Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge clean when doughnuts are fully cooked.
- Rest doughnuts in the pan for a few minutes to stabilize their structure, then transfer to a wire rack for complete cooling and air circulation.
Notes
- Swap coffee for decaf or herbal tea to create a kid-friendly version that eliminates caffeine while maintaining the rich flavor profile.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to transform these doughnuts into a celiac-friendly treat without compromising texture or taste.
- Consider reducing sugar content by substituting part of the sugar with applesauce or mashed banana for a healthier alternative that keeps the doughnuts moist.
- Experiment with dairy-free milk options like almond or oat milk to make the recipe suitable for those with lactose intolerance or following a plant-based diet.
