Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Optional: green food coloring
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • Melted chocolate or mini chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the mini chocolate chips and add a few drops of green food coloring if desired.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back lightly when touched.
  8. Let the donuts cool for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth.
  10. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
  11. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • Mini chocolate chips work best for even distribution throughout the batter.
  • The green food coloring is optional and great for festive occasions.
  • Use dairy-free milk and butter substitutes for a dairy-free version.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unglazed donuts for up to 2 months and glaze after thawing.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the donuts soft and fluffy.
  • Top with crushed peppermint candies or cookie crumbs for extra texture.
