Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • Optional: crushed candy canes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a donut pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the cooled coffee and peppermint extract to the wet ingredients and stir.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze, or drizzle it over them.
  11. If desired, sprinkle with crushed candy canes before the glaze sets.

Notes

  • Ensure your coffee is cooled before adding it to the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure tender donuts.
  • Adjust the amount of peppermint extract to your preference.
