Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan or muffin pan.
In a pot over medium heat, melt butter until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine brown butter, maple syrup (or honey), Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients; mix gently until just combined.
Fill the prepared pan with batter about halfway full and bake for 10-12 minutes until set.
Allow donuts to cool for about 5 minutes before releasing them from the pan onto a cooling rack.
For the glaze, microwave chocolate chips with avocado oil in intervals until melted and smooth.
Dip or drizzle cooled donuts in the chocolate glaze and let set.
