I think we’ve seen the food hybrids run their course, so I decided to call these what they are. No weird Pinterest friendly name, just plain old chocolate brownie doughnuts. I thought about using Bro-nuts, It would have been interesting to see the search results for that one.

Moist fudgy double chocolate brownie doughnuts

I took a super reliable and delicious brownie recipe and baked it in a doughnut pan. I wish I could say there was more science behind it but nope, the results were dense and fudgy with crumbled cookies on top. This was only the second time I’ve made baked doughnuts and I have to admit, I’m from the fried camp.

I’m not saying these were bad, nooooo not at all because remember, these are really wannabee doughnuts. Brownies shaped in circles, covered in a dark chocolate glaze and topped with cookie crumbs. Any cookie will do, there is no cookie on earth that would spoil these. Just for the record I used Trader Joe’s Iced Kona Cookies.

I think every type of baked good needs some kind of sweet drizzle poured over it. For these it was just some dark chocolate melted and poured into a little makeshift parchment piping bag. You can be all neat if you like or just go at it like Jackson Pollock.

No one will care, unless you didn’t make enough.
