Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup Buttermilk Power Cakes mix
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Kodiak Buttermilk Power Cakes mix, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry components.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixes: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Prepare baking pan: Grease a 6-donut baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Pipe or spoon the batter evenly into each donut cavity, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the donuts to cool completely in the pan before carefully removing and transferring them to a cooling rack. Optionally, top with icing and sprinkles, but only after they have fully cooled to avoid melting or running toppings.
  7. Storage: Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Ensure the donuts are completely cooled before glazing to prevent melting.
  • Use a piping bag for even donut shaping and filling the pan.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives.
  • Customize by adding nuts or swapping chocolate chips for white chocolate or peanut butter chips.
  • Donuts can be frozen unglazed for up to 1 month; thaw completely before glazing.
