Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 doughnuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for glaze
- 2 tablespoons milk for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a doughnut pan with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and free of lumps.
- In another bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1/4 cup of brewed coffee, and 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well blended.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, fill each doughnut cavity about two-thirds full with the batter. This will allow space for the doughnuts to rise without overflowing.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut comes out clean. The doughnuts should spring back when lightly pressed.
- Once baked, remove the doughnuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the doughnuts are cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Whisk until smooth and glossy. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once the doughnuts are completely cool, dip the tops of each doughnut into the chocolate glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. You can also use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts if you prefer.
- Let the glazed doughnuts sit on the wire rack for a few minutes to allow the glaze to set. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Enjoy your delicious coconut iced coffee mini chocolate glazed coffee doughnuts with a cup of coffee or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Prepping the Pan: Ensure your doughnut pan is well-greased with cooking spray or coconut oil to prevent sticking. This will help your doughnuts come out perfectly shaped and intact.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense doughnuts, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Filling the Pan: Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the doughnut cavities. This method ensures even distribution and helps avoid spills.
- Check for Doneness: Keep an eye on your doughnuts as they bake. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, and they should spring back when lightly pressed.
- Glaze Consistency: If your chocolate glaze is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until you achieve the desired smooth and glossy texture.
- Cooling Time: Allow the doughnuts to cool completely before glazing. This prevents the glaze from melting off and ensures a beautiful finish.
- Storage: Store any leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’re best enjoyed fresh, but you can still savor them later!
- Pairing Suggestion: Serve these delicious doughnuts with a cup of your favorite coffee or a refreshing iced beverage for the ultimate treat experience!
