Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze)
1 large egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a donut pan thoroughly with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate medium bowl, combine egg, brown sugar, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
Whisk the melted butter and vanilla extract into the liquid mixture.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until no streaks of flour remain.
Transfer batter into a zip-top bag and snip the corner to create a piping bag.
Pipe batter into donut cavities, filling each no more than two-thirds full.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Melt chocolate chips to create the glaze and dip the cooled donuts into the chocolate.
Notes
Ensure the sour cream is full-fat for the best moisture content. Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough donut texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
