Delicious baked red velvet donuts with frosting and sprinkles.
Ingredients
  • Donuts
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • Frosting
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a donuts pan with cooking spray.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave. Stir it several times while in the microwave. Mine took about 45 seconds but it will depend on your microwave. Cool slightly.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar together.
  4. Add the chocolate and butter mixture, vanilla, buttermilk, egg and red food coloring to the flour mix. Stir until well combined.
  5. Fill the donuts pan cavities with the batter just a little less than 2/3 full. The large pan i was using took 2 medium scoops of batter. The mini donuts pan will take 1 scoop. Spread the batter out a little, it doesn't need to be perfect.
  6. Bake for 8 - 12 minutes depending on the size pan you are using.
  7. Mix the frosting ingredients together while baking in a bowl you can dip the donuts into if desired or just frost with a knife. Put the sprinkles on while the frosting is still wet.
