- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the pans

Instructions
To make the doughnuts:
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Grease two doughnut pans with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, olive oil, milk, and yogurt. Fold into the flour mixture until just combined with no streaks remaining.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into prepared doughnut pans.
- Bake in preheated oven until the tops spring back with lightly pressed and the sides are golden, 10-12 minutes. Allow to rest in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
To make the glaze:
- In a small saucepan, warm cream over medium low heat. Once hot, but not yet boiling, remove from heat. Whisk in the chocolate until melted and smooth.
- Dip the top of each cooled doughnut into the chocolate and return to wire rack. Sprinkle with salt and sprinkles if desired and allow to set before serving.
- These doughnuts are best the day they are baked.
