Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 6-count donut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Chocolate Chip Donuts
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, milk, yogurt, and vanilla extract until combined.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and gently fold together using a silicone spatula until combined (be careful not to over mix). Then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Scoop the batter into a piping bag or a zipped-up sandwich bag. Simply cut a corner off of the bottom of the bag and pipe the donut batter into each donut cup, filling it up just barely to the top.
Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the center. If it comes out clean, then they're done. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing them and setting them on a wire rack to finish cooling.
Chocolate Glaze
In a small heat-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, heavy whipping cream, and butter. Heat in the microwave for 20-second intervals until melted. Mix together until smooth and creamy and cool to room temperature.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the glaze and place them back onto the wire rack. Then sprinkle on some mini chocolate chips (optional). Once set, serve immediately and enjoy!
Keep leftover donuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator or on the counter for up to 3 days.
Notes:
Baking Pan: You'll need a 6-count donut pan like this one or this wilton donut pan. I have both of these and use them interchangeably.Measuring Flour: To help ensure you don’t add extra flour, follow these three simple steps: 1) Fluff up the flour using a fork. 2) Spoon the flour into your measuring cup. 3) Scrape a knife across the top of the measuring cup to level out the flour.Donut Batter: I find it so much easier to scrape the donut batter into a pastry bag or a large ziplock bag and pipe the batter into the donut cups. This method makes it less messy too.Glaze: Make sure both the donuts and ganache are completely cooled before using.
