Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for mixing into dough)

1 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (for coating)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

        Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

          Scoop and Bake: Using a mini ice cream scoop or teaspoon, fill each muffin tin cavity about 3/4 full with the dough. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

            Cool: Once baked, remove the doughnut holes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Prepare Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix well to create a chocolate coating for the doughnut holes.

                Coat Doughnut Holes: Once the doughnut holes are cool, roll each one in the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture until fully coated. Place them back on the wire rack for a few minutes to set.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Serve the decadent chocolate doughnut holes fresh! They’re perfect for a snack, dessert, or special occasion.
