Yield: 12 donuts

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray 2 6-count donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Add milk and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, but don’t overmix. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
You can spoon the mixture into the prepared donut pans, but I prefer to add the batter to a plastic bag, snip a corner and pipe it in. Each donut mold should be mostly full.
Bake donuts at 350 for 8-10 minutes, until done.
Remove donuts from oven and turn out onto a kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent them from getting soggy in the pan. Let cool for a minute or two, turning the donuts over once.
Mix together glaze. Dunk each donut in glaze or drizzle with glaze, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!

I use white whole wheat flour but you can sub regular whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour if you prefer.

You can top these donuts with the vanilla glaze described above, a smear of Nutella, or with a peanut butter or chocolate frosting.

Extra donuts can be frozen (without any glaze or frosting) then briefly reheated in the oven or microwave.
