Ingredients

For the Donut Holes:

• 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  
  

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
  

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
  

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
  

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  
  

• 2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
  
  

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
  

• 1/2 cup whole milk
  
  

• 1/3 cup sour cream
  
  

For the Vanilla Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
  
  

• 1/4 cup whole milk
  
  

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease four donut hole pans or two 24-cup mini muffin pans.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
   
   

3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugars until thick and smooth. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, blending well.
   
   

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: In a measuring cup, stir together the milk and sour cream. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk mixture to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   
   

5. Fill the Pans: Use a mini cookie scoop or spoon to fill each cup about 3/4 full with batter.
   
   

6. Bake: Bake for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the donut holes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   
   

7. Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   
   

8. Glaze the Donut Holes: Once the donut holes have cooled, dip each one into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set. For a thicker glaze, you can dip the donut holes 2-3 times.
