Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • For the marshmallow glaze:
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow creme or fluff
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Crushed graham crackers or mini marshmallows, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a doughnut pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix brown sugar, buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Spoon or pipe batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  6. For the glaze, whisk marshmallow creme with milk and vanilla until smooth and drizzle-able.
  7. Dip cooled doughnuts in glaze or drizzle over the top. Garnish with crushed graham crackers or mini marshmallows if desired.

Notes

  • Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the tip cut off for easy batter filling.
  • Doughnuts are best the day they’re made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Add a touch of espresso powder for a mocha twist.
  • Can be made in mini doughnut pans—adjust baking time to 7–8 minutes.
