Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup caramel sauce (recipe below)
- 8 Fun-Size Milky Way bars chopped (or 2 full-size)
Caramel Sauce
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray doughnut pan lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk eggs with milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Gently stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
- Fill each cavity of prepared doughnut pan about ¾ of the way with batter. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until doughnuts are light and springy to the touch. Let cool in pan for a couple minutes before removing to baking rack to cool completely.
- Spoon caramel sauce over each of the doughnuts and top with chopped Milky Way bars. Let rest for a bit so caramel can harden.
Caramel Sauce
- Put brown sugar and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Let mixture come to a boil, stirring all the while.
- Remove saucepan from heat and stir in heavy cream. Keep stirring. Put pan back on heat, bring back to a boil and let boil for about two minutes.
- Remove mixture to heat-safe container. Stir in salt and let cool to room temperature.
