Peppermint Mocha Donuts Recipe
Peppermint Mocha Donuts will be a joy to wake up to this holiday season. Great for breakfast or an afternoon sweet treat!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg Beaten
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1/4 cup Strong Brewed Coffee Cooled
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 1/4 cup Crushed Peppermint Candy Cane Pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until combined. Whisk in sugar.
- Stir in egg, milk, coffee, and oil and mix until combined, but do not overmix. As with muffins, a few lumps are fine.
- Fill donut pan wells about 3/4 full. Bake for 12 minutes, or until lightly springy to touch. Remove from pan (a spoon helps here) and let cool on a rack set over a baking sheet. Clean off any stuck bits, re-grease, and repeat with remaining batter.
- In a bowl with a bottom wide enough for the donut, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and peppermint extract until completely smooth.
- Dip donuts into glaze and return to rack. Before the glaze hardens, sprinkle on candy cane bits.
