5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare Chocolate Glaze:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter (or coconut oil), and corn syrup (or honey). Microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
