Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sprinkles
  • cooking spray
  • FOR THE FROSTING
  • 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons heavy cream divided
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • For the donuts:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously coat a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add eggs, butter, oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl, stirring until smooth.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag, then pipe it into the wells of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let them rest for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Wipe the pan, recoat with cooking spray, and repeat with the remaining batter. Allow all donuts to cool completely.
  • For the frosting:
  • In one bowl, microwave 1/4 cup of cream for 30 seconds, and in another bowl, microwave 3 tablespoons of cream for 20 seconds.
  • Add semisweet chocolate to one bowl and white chocolate to the other. Cover each bowl, let sit for 3 minutes, then uncover and stir until smooth. Microwave for additional 15-20 seconds if needed.
  • Dip each donut into either the semisweet or white chocolate, then top with sprinkles.
  • Allow the donuts to sit for about 15 minutes until the frosting firms up before serving.
  • Notes:
  • Avoid overfilling the donut pan; keep indentations no more than 3/4 full to maintain their shape.
  • Ensure the donuts are completely cooled before dipping them in the frosting.
