How to Make Chocolate Baked Buttermilk Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a NordicWare donut pan (or similar).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and beat with a mixer on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each donut well about ⅔ full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  8. Carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, glaze with your favorite vanilla glaze and decorate as desired!
