Galactic Chocolate Donuts Recipes

CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°. Grease a donut pan with oil or butter. Set aside.
• Make the donuts: Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl whisk egg with sugar until well combined. Add milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
• Fill donut cavities with batter ¾ way full using a spoon or a piping bag (much easier). Cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup.
• Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the donuts comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then remove donuts from pan and transfer to a wire rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the chocolate glaze: Melt the chocolate, heavy cream, and butter gently in the microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between) or a double boiler until smooth. Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze, and place on a cooling rack to set.
• Donuts are best eaten the same day or keep them for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

GALACTIC CHOCOLATE DONUTS

Steps:

• For the donuts, heat oven to 375°F Grease and flour pan. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• Stir in buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla; beat until just combined.
• Fill each well of a donut pan 2/3 full and bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
• Bake 10-12 minutes, until the top of the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
• Cool 5 minutes in pan; invert onto cooling rack and cool completely.
• While the donuts cools, prepare the glaze. Mix powdered sugar, milk and coconut oil in a bowl until it reaches a smooth consistency.
• Pour approximately ½ cup of the mixture into a small bowl. Add purple and blue food coloring drops into the bowl.
• Gently mix, making marble-looking pattern using a small stick or skewer.
• Dip top of the donut into the glaze, gently lift and remove.
• Sprinkled glazed donuts with edible glitter.
• Repeat steps 7 through 10 until all the donuts are glazed.

GALAXY DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to dip a doughnut into, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, coconut oil and vanilla until smooth and silky. Adjust the powdered sugar until the icing is a thick liquid consistency but not too drippy. Add 2 drops of purple food coloring and mix to tint the base. Add 1 to 2 drops of each color and swirl the surface of the icing several times with a skewer or toothpick.
• Dip a doughnut on one side into the icing, letting the icing drip off for a moment before turning it over and placing it icing-side up on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining doughnuts. As the food coloring drops become muddled, scoop out the top layer of icing and add new color combinations. You will probably get 2 dips out of each swirl. Sprinkle the doughnuts with edible glitter and let dry.

BAKED DOUBLE CHOCOLATE DONUTS (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 6 hole donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl blend together the flour, tapioca starch, cocoa, sugar, gum, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and buttermilk powder.
• In a small bowl beat together the eggs, oil and 2 tablespoons water. Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. If mixture is to thick add in additional water until a smooth, thick, cake batter consistency is achieved.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing with a spatula. Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to rest in pan a minute or two and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool for a few minutes.
• In a small bowl, blend together the coconut oil, cocoa, 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water, sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth adding in additional water as needed. Place the cooling rack with donuts on a cookie sheet and spoon the chocolate glaze over the donuts allowing the glaze to drip down sides. Immediately top with topping of choice; i.e., peanuts, coconut or nonpareils. Enjoy!
