I hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day and are ready for a little more sweetness! It’s time for the Secret Recipe Club and I did a little baking for my kids. They’ve been begging me for donuts lately and while going through my assignment for this month’s SRC, I decided to go with Lauren’s recipe for donuts. Lauren pens the blog, Sew You Can Cook. Seriously, such a fun name for a blog! Lauren is a SAHM to 2 adorable little boys and has dreams of one day becoming a caterer. You’ll get there Lauren, you’re so talented!
This recipe is so quick and easy! I made it twice in the last week…the first time I didn’t grease my donut pan well and the donuts stuck. We still enjoyed them! I loved the subtle flavor of the olive oil…yes, they use olive oil! Lauren made them as a part of the #EVOOChallenge and I loved checking out all the other recipes that she made as part of the challenge. I followed her recipe closely, just swapped out the dark chocolate chips for mini chocolate chips, added a splash of vanilla extract and a little dried vanilla beans. They came out great the second time and my kids are going to enjoy them for breakfast this morning.
1 cup cake flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp milk
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in the chocolate chips to coat them to help them from sinking to the bottom of the donuts.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, olive oil and milk. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter between the six donuts. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The muffins will be a light brown on top and darker on the bottoms. Allow to cool before removing from the donut pan.

Mini chocolate chips was a good idea. I debated chopping my chocolate chips but was simply too lazy to do so. 🙂

I really need to get myself one of those donut baking pans. These look delicious, my family would love them. If it has chocolate, my family will devour it.

I was thinking exactly the same as April above: I need to get myself a donut baking pan! 🙂 I never eat donuts because I’m not into frying stuff, but my kids love them and it would be great to be able to give them donuts without frying.
