These Chocolate Frosted Cinnamon Donuts are super light and moist in the center with a rich chocolate frosted top, only require 1 bowl and vegan or course!
Helllooo good ol’ fashion tasting classic soft cinnamon donut with chocolate frosting… mmhm yes these are pretty much amazing!
I’ll be honest I was never really a donut girl, I was more for cookies like these Soft Chocolate Chunk Caramel Cookies BUT these are the exception, when I go for a donut (unless I’m having a super strange craving) I usually reach for classic flavors like this cinnamon with chocolate frosting.
Why? I’m not sure… cause’ I’m a super simple girl?! For real though, I’m basic and so is my food and desserts… fancy pants stuff is amazing from time to time and fun to make but most of the time sign me up for the fuss free simple flavors!
Ok,
The flavors of these Chocolate Frosted Cinnamon Donuts:
- Pillowy soft and light
- Moist and smooth
- Hints of cinnamon from the donut
- Glazed with a rich and sweet chocolate frosting
- Only requires 1 bowl like most of my recipes and VEGAN of course!
I think there isn’t much better than this right now, so go whip up yo’ self a batch of these for a afternoon treat or Sunday brunch!
