Chocolate donuts - YUM! YUM! YUM!!! :) These quick and simple thermomix chocolate baked donuts are just perfect for the school holidays or to make for lunchboxes.
I can't believe it's already the second Friday of the month! My daughter loves making these as they are so quick and easy! She enjoys making different coloured glazes for the tops too! Just leave out the cacao and increase the icing sugar and add a drop of food colouring. Just a warning though that these are very moreish! I hope you will enjoy them as much as we do.
Thermomix Chocolate Baked Donuts
Ingredients
Ingredients Donuts
- 80g butter, unsalted cubed
- 125g milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ThermoFun Vanilla Bean Paste
- 150g plain flour
- 100g brown sugar
- 15g cacao powder
- ½ teaspoon bi-carb soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Ingredients Chocolate Glaze
- 2½ tablespoon milk (divided)
- 70g icing sugar
- 15g cacao powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon ThermoFun Vanilla Bean Paste
- sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C and spray a nonstick donut baking tray. (Can use a cupcake sized tray alternatively).
- Place butter into TM bowl and melt 3 mins / 50°C / speed 1.
- Add milk, egg and vanilla and mix 10 sec / speed 3.
- Add flour, brown sugar, cacao powder, bi-carb soda and salt and mix 10 sec / speed 4. Scrape down and mix 5 sec / speed 4.
- Using a small teaspoon fill each donut or cupcake hole until two thirds full (approx. 3 tsp). Don't overfill or you will lose the hole when the batter rises and bakes. You should have just enough for 12 donuts plus a little extra left on the side of the bowl/spatula for a helper.
- Bake 11 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly in the tray before emptying out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
- When you are ready to glaze the donuts, add 2 tablespoon milk into TM bowl and the remaining ingredients and combine 10 sec / speed 4. Scrape down and add another ½ tablespoon milk if required and mix again 20 sec / speed 4 to get a smooth glaze consistency of medium thickness.
- Put the glaze into a small flat bowl and dip each donut face down, use a spoon to help smooth it around the top of the donut and place them onto a plate. Add some sprinkles after every few that you dip before the glaze sets. Enjoy!

I made these and they turned out like cupcakes. They weren’t a dough consistency like a normal donut would be. I did use a cupcake on though so they weren’t shaped like donuts. But still taste great, just more light and fluffy than I would’ve thought.

Made these for my boys tonight I hope they like them. Though I can't see what's not to like lol! They worked great in my donut tray I got with the better homes n gardens magazine.

Bianca says
Wondering if I can freeze these and then use them as lunch box treats?
thermofun says
Biaca I have never had any leftover to freeze! But i'd say they'd be ok. If you do try I'd love you to let us know how they go.
