Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while greasing a donut pan generously with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, maple syrup, yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity halfway to two-thirds full.
  6. Place the filled donut pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips with avocado oil and melt in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  8. Once the donuts have cooled, dip each into the chocolate glaze and allow excess to drip off.
