Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • ¼ cup buttermilk

  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk

  • ¼ cup strong brewed coffee

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup chocolate chips, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 6-cavity donut pan with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside.

  2. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Set aside.

  3. Whisk brown sugar, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, coffee, egg, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; whisk until blended and smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.

  4. Pour batter into a large, resealable plastic bag, cut 1 corner, and squeeze batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until donuts spring back when lightly pressed, about 8 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes; turn pan over directly onto rack to release donuts. Allow to cool for 5 minutes more.
