Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F [190°C] degrees. Grease the donut pan.

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and baking soda in a mixing bowl.

In another smaller bowl whisk together vanilla, egg, yogurt, milk, and oil.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
