Mexican Chocolate Doughnuts

These doughnuts are fluffy, slightly moist, and have an incredible Mexican chocolate flavor. Mexican chocolate is known for its distinct spicy cinnamon and ginger flavors. Their texture is more like a muffin than the typical fried doughnut, so they're the perfect excuse to have chocolate for breakfast.
