Start of your day with rich Mocha White Chocolate Chip Donuts and a cup of freshly brewed coffee!
My husband and I were just commenting last night about how we have spent just about every Saturday since we’ve moved at a home improvement store. I’ve lost track of how many hours have been spent in Lowe’s and Home Depot.
Thankfully, there’s a Dunn Bros (and can I just say how good it is to live within driving distance to a Dunn Bros again?!) in the same parking lot as Lowe’s, so I can at least have an iced coffee while wandering around looking for just the right track lighting, the perfect faucet, table saws, and all sorts of home improvement items!
The list just keeps growing of the things that need to be done and the items that need to be purchased. Fortunately, along with good iced coffee, I have baking to retreat to when I need a break from thinking about the next item on our “HOUSE” list.
The most recent baking episode involved these mocha white chocolate chip donuts. And while they’re donuts, they were made in the afternoon and promptly enjoyed as soon as they were photographed!
These are rich, chocolate donuts infused with coffee and studded with white chocolate chips. A sweet coffee glaze and a smattering of sprinkles finishes them off.
This makes them the best way to start a morning, or make a long afternoon better, or satisfy an evening craving, or. . .well, you get the picture.
These donuts are too good to be reserved just for breakfast!
- 1 C white whole wheat flour
- ⅓ C sugar
- 3 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ C milk
- ¼ C strongly brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
- 1 egg
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ C white chocolate chips
- 1 C confectioner's sugar
- 1 tbsp strongly brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ tbsp milk
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, unsweetened baking cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk together milk, coffee, butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in white chocolate chips.
- Transfer batter to a pastry bag or plastic bag with corner cut off. Pipe batter into donut pan filling each cavity about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
- While donuts are cooling, stir together all ingredients for the glaze until smooth. You may need to add up to another ½ teaspoon of milk to reach desired consistency. Dip tops of donuts into glaze.
- Allow glaze to harden and serve.

You had me at chocolate and coffee! Love these cute little donuts! The sprinkles on the coffee glaze just makes me want to run into my kitchen and make them ASAP!

Oh gosh, I know that feeling! When we moved to our house it felt like we were alwaysss at home depot!! These donuts sound awesome! And side note – that mug is so fun!

You’re describing last summer in a nutshell for me! My husband and I bought a foreclosure in May and spent the following four months fixing up just about everything we had the time, money and energy to improve. Every weekend was spent at Lowe’s, for sure!
Wish we had a nice coffee shop near ours . . . these doughnuts look delicious! And all things are possible with iced coffee. 🙂

These donuts look amazing! I want one right now with some coffee. Wish it wasn’t 10pm. 🙂 Good luck on you home renovations. I feel you about about Lowes and Home Depot. Don’t you feel like you live there sometimes? Also I’m jealous of you having a Dunn Bros. I don’t even know what it is, but all we have is Starbucks and I’m so tired of it. I’m craving something new. Pinned!

Good luck with all the home improvement projects, it was the same for us when we moved to our new home too. Donuts are the perfect treat while you’re taking a break. These look amazing!
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel says
I totally know how that feels! After we moved into our new house (and for months leading up to it!) we were in the city every weekend getting supplies. I love this mocha and white chocolate combo!
Beth says
Goodness! If I was going to spend hours in home depot I would NEED coffee!! And a donut, for good measure!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Can we be neighbors? These donuts look pretty darn perfect to me! What a yummy breakfast treat!
Joanne says
Living in a constant state of home improvement would drive me crazy, I think! Thankfully you still have a functional kitchen to destress. These donuts look like the perfect thing for a morning/lunch/afternoon/after dinner treat!

Donuts are my ultimate downfall… yummy!
