Best-Ever Baked Donuts

Park Feierbach
Who doesn't love a good donut? This baked variety is just as satisfying as the fried version, but SO much lighter. We can't resist a good chocolate glaze, but these would also be delicious rolled in cinnamon sugar, churro-style.

Directions
- Preheat oven to 400° and grease two donut pans. In a large bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg if using.
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine eggs, sugars, 1/2 cup milk, sour cream, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla until smooth. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold until just combined. (Some lumps are OK!)
- Using a piping bag or resealable plastic bag, pipe batter into donut pan, filling each well about 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops appear dry and the undersides are golden. Let cool 5 minutes before turning out.
- Meanwhile, combine chocolate chips and remaining 1/4 cup milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at half power in 30-second increments, stirring after each round, until chocolate is completely melted.
- Dip or spread donuts with frosting, then add sprinkles. Let chocolate set 10 minutes before serving.
