Ingredients

Donuts:

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tbsp Expresso Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Egg
  • 6 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 2 tbsp Double Strength Coffee (I used cold brewed)
  • 2 tbsp Mocha Coffee Creamer
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil

Glaze:

  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 4 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Peppermint Extract
  • Crushed Candy Canes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease donut pans (this one is my favorite!). Set aside.
  • Combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and baking soda. Stir gently to combine.
  • In a small bowl, beat together the vanilla, egg, sour cream, coffee, coffee creamer and oil. Stir wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Transfer batter to a large ziploc bag. Cut off the corner and, using like a pastry bag, pipe donut batter into the donut pan. Bake in preheated over for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Combine powdered sugar, 3 Tbsp milk and peppermint extract in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add additional milk as necessary to reach desired consistency. Dip donuts into glaze and sprinkle with crushed candy cane pieces.
