Yield:
6 donuts


Ingredients

    1 teaspoon unsalted butter

    1 cup all-purpose flour

    ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

    1 teaspoon baking powder

    ½ cup packed brown sugar

    ¼ cup buttermilk

    ¼ cup strong brewed coffee

    1 egg

    1 tablespoon unsalted butter

    ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

    ¼ cup chocolate chips, or to taste


Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 6-cavity donut pan with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside.

    Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Set aside.

    Whisk brown sugar, ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk, coffee, egg, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract together in another bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; whisk until blended and smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.

    Pour batter into a large, resealable plastic bag, cut 1 corner, and squeeze batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.

    Bake in the preheated oven until donuts spring back when lightly pressed, about 8 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 5 minutes; turn pan over directly onto rack to release donuts. Allow to cool for 5 minutes more.
