GF Double Chocolate Chip Baked Donuts

GF Double Chocolate Chip Baked Donuts are just about as close as I can get to chocolate cake for breakfast!

I do have a weakness for donuts. Especially Joe’s Donuts in Sandy, Oregon…seriously nothing compares! If you ever find yourself passing through on your way to Mt. Hood, this little bakery is definitely worth the stop. Besides, you’re probably going to want a snack anyway.

Well, these aren’t bakery donuts but they are fun and delicious. The best part about these baked donuts is you won’t have any regrets or feel that miserable sugar crash later.

You can actually bake any favorite muffin recipe in donut pans…I just felt like chocolate this time.

Enjoy your baked donuts plain or dust with powdered sugar. Maybe you would like to take things a step further and drizzle the tops of the donuts with melted chocolate, powdered sugar icing or warm peanut butter.  Try frosting the donuts with peanut butter…you will love it, plus you add some protein.

Perfect for breakfast, brunch, snacks and even dessert!  You might also like to try these zucchini & apple donuts, they are definately a crowd favorite.
