These Baked Chocolate Crumb Donuts are incredibly moist, flavorful, and packed with chocolate! Whether enjoyed for breakfast, a snack, or dessert….these donuts will definitely satisfy any sweet tooth!
Having three young kids, donuts are something thoroughly enjoyed in my house. We have tried many varieties over the years from chocolate glazed, apple cider, cinnamon sugar, coffee cake, and even chocolate peppermint!
Last weekend, my daughter was in the mood to bake and asked if we could make donuts. Never passing up an opportunity to get in the kitchen, I agreed and she helped me whip these up.
She loves anything that is or resembles Oreo, so I knew she would enjoy these. Not only were they simple to prep, but the donut itself was moist, packed with chocolate, the topping was just the right amount to make these irresistible, and all in all, we all gave these two thumbs up.
Awhile back, I bought donut pans off Amazon and let me tell you, those were such a great investment! Only around $13, we have used those pans several times and saved money compared to buying store bought donuts!
If you’re a chocolate lover, these are perfect for you! Whether enjoyed as a sweet treat, snack, or even breakfast…..these are a definite must try!
