What's in This Halloween Donuts Recipe?
Here are all the ingredients I used to make these Halloween themed donuts!
All-purpose flour. Also called plain flour.
Greek Yogurt. The Greek yogurt will give the batter the texture that will moisten the donut and prevent it from being too dry.
Granulated Sugar. Aside from providing sweetness, granulated sugar helps to make donut dough crisper.
Milk. A hint of a creamier texture is added to your recipe by using milk to improve their flavor.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda. As you prepare this dessert, be sure to use the appropriate amount of baking powder to enhance the volume and lighten the texture.
Salt. To enhance the flavor .
Egg. Will provide structure, leavening and color.
Coconut Oil. I like to use melted coconut oil for a softer texture of the donuts.
For the Glaze
Dark Chocolate. For the glaze of these donuts, we will use melted dark chocolates.
White Chocolate. We will use it in making a spider web decoration on the donuts.
