ChoCOlate And Pistachio DOnuTS
By @storminateacupp
Cooking difficulty: easy
45 minutes
Makes 12 small donuts
“I love this recipe because not only is it fast and easy to make, but it also satisfies my craving
for chocolate and donuts in one go.”
Ingredients
Method
¾ cup plain flour
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
1 mashed banana
100ml milk
3 tbs melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
125g dark chocolate chips
2 ½ tbs cocoa powder
¼ cup crushed pistachio praline
Grease donut pan and preheat oven to 180°C.
Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda in a large
bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the banana, milk, oil and vanilla extract.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir until it is combined.
Pipe batter into the donut pan and bake for 12 minutes or until the donuts are coming
away from the sides. Remove from oven and transfer onto a cooling rack.
Chocolate Icing
Place chocolate chips and cocoa in a small bowl. Heat milk until it is just about to
boil. Pour over the chocolate mixture and allow it to sit for a few minutes before
stirring to combine.
Dip each donut into the chocolate icing. After each donut is dipped, sprinkle with
pistachio praline. Leave in the fridge to set; let icing set completely before serving.
Notes
If you do not own a donut pan, you can easily use a muffin pan by placing a small ball
of foil in the middle of the muffin moulds.
Recipe can easily be made vegan by substituting the milk with a vegan alternative and
using dairy free chocolate chips.
