Peppermint Hot Cocoa Crunch Donuts
What you need:
For the donuts:
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup hot chocolate mix
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tsp. honey or corn syrup
- 2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes or peppermints
- 1/3 cup marshmallow bits
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, hot chocolate mix, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and baking powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, yogurt, melted butter, and peppermint extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pipe or spoon batter into a greased donut pan about 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove pan from oven and set on a wire rack. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then remove from pan to the wire rack directly.
- While the donuts are cooling, make your glaze. In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate chips, butter, honey, and milk together over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Once melted, stir in vanilla until mixture is smooth and glossy. Reduce heat to low.
- Dunk donut tops into glaze and then immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint and marshmallow bits.
- Rest until glaze sets. Serve.
