Description
These Chocolate Chip Pancake Donuts are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes, combining fluffy texture, rich chocolate chips, and a fun donut shape. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they’re quick and easy to make in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (cooled)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or your favorite type)
Cooking spray or oil for the donut pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a donut pan by lightly coating it with cooking spray or oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Mix just until incorporated; avoid over-mixing to keep the donuts fluffy.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For an extra touch, drizzle or dip the cooled donuts in a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Pancake Donuts warm or at room temperature!
Notes
Donut Pan: If you don’t have a donut pan, you can use a muffin tin, but the shape won’t be the same. You can also try making mini donut holes by adjusting the bake time accordingly.
Dairy-Free Version: Use a dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk) and dairy-free butter for a vegan version of these donuts.
Customize the Flavor: Feel free to swap out the chocolate chips for other mix-ins like mini marshmallows, nuts, or dried fruit to suit your taste.
Glaze: The glaze is optional, but it adds a sweet, glossy finish to the donuts. You can also try chocolate glaze for extra chocolatey goodness.
