Can this recipe be made into muffins or cupcakes?

Yes, but it won't make very many. I would recommend doubling the recipe or using this Dark Chocolate Malt Snack Cake recipe and bake them at 350 degrees F for 16 minutes.

How to make this chocolate glaze with just 2 ingredients:

This chocolate glaze is a simple ganache made with heavy cream and chocolate. Typically, ganache is made by bringing the heavy cream to a simmer and then pouring over the chocolate. But since this is such a small amount, I find that it's easier to just heat the heavy cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then adding the chocolate and stirring until smooth. Be wary of over-heating the cream or chocolate or the ganache might split. When ganache splits, the fat solids separate and it appears grainy. If this happens, sometimes it can be fixed by adding a splash of cold heavy cream or small amount of butter.

- Donut pan: Use either a mini metal donut pan or regular size donut pan - whichever one be sure to use metal! I find that silicone molds don't work very well. - Kitchen scale: You'll need a kitchen scale to weigh all of your ingredients (read why below)!

How to bake donuts without a donut pan:

If you do not have a donut pan, you can use a muffin pan and aluminum foil to create the center holes. Just shape the aluminum foil into logs with flat bottoms so they can stand up straight in the pan. Spoon or pipe the batter around the logs and bake as directed.
