Chocolate Glazed Baked Donut Recipe

Who doesn't love donuts? They are sweet, fun to eat an portion-controlled. The only problem is, they are also often fried and you have no idea what is in them. This from-scratch donut recipe is baked on the oven, easy and fun to make.

One great thing about this recipe is that it is fun to make with the kids. They can help pour and mix the batter and even ice the donuts. I do try to get my children involved as much as possible in making breakfast and, along with my Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes recipe and our “famous” French Toast Roll Ups With Cream Cheese and Strawberries recipe, this is one of their favorites to help with (shockingly, they are always more willing to help cook when it is something sweet!)

You will need to pick up the baked donut pan (you can probably also get it at Michael's, etc. You will also find the candy melts at those stores for much less than on Amazon!). This donut recipe yields 12 donuts!

  • Leave donut in pan for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and set on cooling rack.

Glaze the Donuts

  • Hold above bowl allowing excess glaze to drip off and back in the bowl.
  • Place donut on wax paper or return to cooling rack.
  • Repeat with remaining donuts
  • Wait a few minutes for the glaze to set.

Dip The Donuts in Chocolate

    We love donuts at our house. I am always on the look out for recipes that don’t require yeast and rising or frying. Thanks for sharing.

    These look great. I am going to buy a donut pan so we can try these. I am not a donut fan as they are too heavy when fried. My kids will be happy if I try these. Thanks for sharing! Tina
