If you want a quick, homemade and great tasting sweet snack…these chocolate orange baked doughnuts are perfect.

I whipped them up while the roast was in the oven so they were ready to eat as soon as dinner had gone down. And baked doughnuts are a lot easier to make than fried doughnuts and a little better for you too!

[callout title=Ingredients for the doughnut]

  • 190g plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 60ml fresh orange juice
  • 1 egg
  • 100g light brown sugar
  • 115g natural greek yoghurt
  • 30g unsalted butter – melted
  • Zest of one orange

[/callout]

Method:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a doughnut pan
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder, salt and nutmeg
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, egg, sugar, yoghurt and melted butter
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix well
  • Fold in the orange zest
  • Pipe or spoon the mixture into the tin (I found it easier to pipe it due to the consistency)
  • Bake in the oven for 5 – 7 minutes
  • Leave in the tin for 5 minutes then carefully take each doughnut out and leave to cool on a wire rack while you make the glaze

And that’s all there is to it! Thank you to Marsha’s baking addiction for the inspiration! These will definintely be made again from my kitchen. I’ll be interested to know how they keep too…..not that there will be many left over!

I only have a mini doughnut pan so the ones I made are pretty tiny, but you could also use a regular sized pan if you would prefer.  The nutritional information below is based on the miniature servings.

Welcome to Sunday Baking! I started this blog at the start of 2013 and it's taken me on a wonderful journey. A lot has changed in the last few years and you will now see more refined sugar free recipes (although don't worry....if you have a sweet tooth I will still be featuring regular sweet stuff too!).
I no longer post every Sunday, but the recipes I do post are 100% worth trying - if you sign up below I will email you every time I add a new recipe!
Happy Baking!
