Baked Chocolate Donuts with Coconut Glaze

Baked Chocolate Donuts with Coconut Glaze are one of our favorite donuts. I start this recipe by stirring up an easy chocolate batter. Then, I just bake them in the oven, which makes this recipe super easy. Next, I frost them with a sweet coconut glaze. Finally, I sprinkle the donut with shredded coconut, or sometimes just sprinkles. We love this dish for several reasons. First of all, I like that these donuts get baked in the oven. It makes the donuts much lighter and saves the mess and trouble of deep-frying. Secondly, I like that these donuts take less than an hour from start to finish. And, lastly, we all love the rich and delicious flavor chocolate and coconut flavors in these donuts.

The Equipment I Used

Donut Pans- You’ll need enough pans to make 24 three inch-donuts.
An Electric Mixer- I used an electric mixer to beat my batter but you could also do it by hand.
A Food Scale- For perfect baking results, be sure to weigh your sugar and flour.

The Ingredients Needed for Baked Chocolate Donuts with Coconut Glaze

Baking Spray- Use a good baking spray so that you can remove the donuts from the pan easily.
Butter- I used Kerry Gold Irish butter. Be sure to use unsalted butter.
Eggs- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature.
Chocolate- Use unsweetend chocolate. I used Baker’s brand.
Buttermilk- Use whole milk buttermilk.
Powdered Sugar- Be sure to sift your sugar, so that’s it doesn’t make the frosting lumpy.

How I Made my Donuts

First, mixed up the batter. I sprayed the donut pans really well.
Next, I baked the donuts until they bounced back when touched.
Then, I let the donuts cool on a wire rack.
Finally, I mixed up the glaze and carefully spread it on the donuts. Then, I sprinkled on some coconut.

Easy Hummingbird Quick Bread

Easy Hummingbird Quick Bread is one of our favorite quick breads. I make this bread in a similar way to the way I make banana bread. But I add pineapple, pecans, pineapple, and coconut to the bananas. We like this bread for several reasons. First of all, I like that I can stir up this bread in ten minutes. And, since it uses melted butter, I don’t even need to wait for the butter to soften. Secondly, I like that this recipe uses ingredients I always have in the house. That means it’s relatively inexpensive for me to prepare. Thirdly, this bread tastes great when made a day ahead. So, I often make this a day in advance. And, lastly, we all love how delicious this bread is. As you can see in my pictures, I often like to serve this with whipped cream, sliced bananas, and a sprinkle of coconut and pecans.

The Equipment I Used

A Loaf Pan- I used a 9×5 ceramic loaf pan for this bread.
Parchment Paper- Use this to ensure that your bread will come out of the pan. If you just want to slice it in the pan, you can skip the parchment.
A Food Scale- For perfect results be sure to weigh your flour and sugar.

The Ingredients Needed for Easy Hummingbird Quick Bread

Flour- Be sure to use all- purpose flour. I like King Arthur flour.
Butter- Use unsalted butter. I used Kerry Gold Irish butter.
Pineapple- Be sure to use canned crushed pineapple. Drain it well.
Coconut- Use sweetened flaked coconut, like Baker’s brand.
Pecans- Use chopped pecans. Make sure there are no shells in your pecans.

How I Made my Bread

First, I melted my butter and then mixed up the bread right up in the pot.
Next, I greased and lined the pan and baked the bread.
Finally, I let the cake cool in the pan.
