Ingredients
Units
For the donuts:
- 1 box Simple Mills Chocolate Muffin & Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
For the peppermint chocolate ganache:
- 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 cup peppermint candies, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large donut baking tray liberally with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until well combined. Pour mixture into donut molds, filling ⅔ of the way up.
- Bake donuts for 15 minutes, then allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.
- To make the ganache, melt the chocolate and coconut oil over a double boiler (start with 3 tablespoons of coconut oil, adding the 4th tablespoon if the mixture is too thick). Once melted, remove from heat and stir in peppermint extract.
- Dip each donut into the peppermint chocolate ganache, shaking off any excess chocolate before placing back on cooling rack to set. Sprinkle donut with crushed peppermint candies. Serve!
