Can I replace the sour cream with Greek yogurt?

Yes. Full-fat Greek yogurt works well and produces a similar soft, moist crumb.

Why are my donuts dry?

They may be overbaked. Chocolate donuts can become dry quickly, so begin checking for doneness early. Measuring the flour accurately also helps prevent dryness.

Can I make these in a mini donut pan?

Absolutely. Reduce the baking time to 6 to 8 minutes and watch closely, as small donuts bake very quickly.

Can I flavor the glaze differently?

Yes. Try almond extract, peppermint, maple, coffee, or even cocoa powder for a chocolate glaze.
