This year has flown by so fast but yet so slow for us. We are excited that our favorite time of the year has finally arrived and we are ready to spread some holiday cheer! What better way to bring a little cheer then by making some holiday donuts.
Donuts are so fun to make and take little to no time to prep and bake. They take little effort with a delicious outcome. These peppermint mocha donuts taste like a peppermint candy meets a cake, but one that is but sized.
How to Make Peppermint Dunkin Donuts?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a donut pan with baking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, salt. In a small bowl, whisk together wet ingredients; milk, instant coffee, egg, olive oil and extracts.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Over-mixing can leave you with rubbery donuts.
Use a pipping bag or a small spoon, pipe or scoop batter into prepared donut pan, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the donuts are baked through and spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan for 1 minute and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
While cooling, make the glaze. Whisk together all the ingredients until combined. When donuts are completely cooled, dip each in glaze. Decorate with chopped candy canes. Let glaze set for 20 minutes before stacking or serving. Donuts are best enjoyed within two-three days.
Let Holiday Season Begin
The perfect donut to commemorate the Holiday Season. Now all that is left to do is decorate the house with all the Holiday things if you haven’t already.
