- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup Soom Foods Chocolate Spread or plain Sesame Tahini
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- For the glaze: 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease 2 six-doughnut mold non-stick baking pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In an electric mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and Soom Foods Chocolate Spread or plain Sesame Tahini until smooth.
- Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared doughnut pans, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the doughnuts comes out clean.
- Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the tahini, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the doughnuts are cool, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Store doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a richer flavor, use chocolate tahini spread. Serve with a cold glass of milk for a delightful pairing. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.
