Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 whole large eggs
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt; vanilla or plain flavored
  • 2 Tbsp. butter; melted
  • 2 Tbsp. oil
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Chocolate Glaze

  • 1 1/2-2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
  • sprinkles; optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease donut pans with butter or nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugars until combined. Add the milk, butter, oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix again.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and fold the ingredients together, just until combined. The batter will be thick and it's ok if there are a few lumps.
  • Fill donut cavities 3/4 way full by using either a pastry bag/ziplock bag, cut off a corner and pipe the batter into each donut cup. You could also spoon the batter into the donut cups but using a bag will help create a neater look.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of donuts comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • In the meantime you can make the chocolate glaze, in a microwave safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, milk and vanilla extract. Melt in 30-second intervals, storing in-between each interval until smooth and melted.
  • Dip each donut in the chocolate glaze, top with sprinkles, and place on cooling rack to set. Enjoy!
  • It's best to enjoy the donuts the same day since they are so fresh. They will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator or a cool area covered or in an airtight container.
