Ingredients:

For the Donuts:

- ¾ cup all-purpose flour

- ½ cup white sugar (granulated)

- ⅓ cup cocoa

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ¼ teaspoon salt

- ½ cup milk

- 2 tablespoons oil (olive or canola work well)

- ½ tablespoon vinegar (apple cider or white)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- A generous sprinkle of Stevia Sprinkles

For the Chocolate Glaze:

- ¼ cup butter

- 2 tablespoons cream or milk

- 1 tablespoon corn syrup (light)

- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

- 2 ounces chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

- ¾ cup sugar (powdered)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Donut Batter:

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium to large bowl: flour, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:

In a separate bowl, stir together the wet ingredients: milk, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.

3. Combine Wet and Dry:

Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry until no lumps remain. Your batter should have a rich, chocolatey aroma.

4. Prep the Donut Pan:

Lightly butter or use a non-stick spray to coat the donut baking pan. This step ensures your donuts release easily after baking.

5. Bake:

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan. Bake at 350°F for 14-15 minutes or until a toothpick is clean when inserted. The fragrance will fill your kitchen, making it even more irresistible.

6. Cool:

Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan before gently turning them onto a cooling rack.

7. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:

Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat and stir in the cream or milk, corn syrup, and vanilla. Once the mixture is smooth and aromatic, add the chocolate chips, lowering the heat if needed. Continue to cook and stir until the chips are completely melted.

8. Sweeten the Deal:

Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar. To ensure your glaze is lump-free, sift the powdered sugar first to remove any lumps.

9. Glaze and Sprinkle:

Dip each cooled donut into the still-warm glaze, tapping off any extra. Sprinkle with Stevia Sprinkles to add that delightful sweetness without the added sugar.

Enjoy your Stevia Sprinkles Chocolate Donuts - a healthier and equally delicious alternative to traditional donuts. Share them with your loved ones guilt-free, and relish in the delight of this delectable treat.
