For the Donuts

• 1 3/4 cups all purpose unbleached flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup butter (melted)
• 1/2 cup orange marmalade
• 1/2 cup orange juice (fresh squeezed)

For the Glaze

• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons water
• 2 teaspoons corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons orange zest

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your donut pan with nonstick spray.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder; set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, stir the eggs, melted butter, orange marmalade, and fresh orange juice until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
4. Transfer the batter to a large resealable bag, snip one corner, and pipe the batter into the donut cavities.
5. Bake at 400°F until lightly golden: about 7–9 minutes for mini pans, 9–11 minutes for medium pans, or 13–15 minutes for large pans. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pans.
6. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in the orange zest, water, and corn syrup. Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and set on a wire rack until the glaze firms.
