Chocolate Mint Donuts
If you're ever wanting to make donuts, make these! Make the extra trip for fudge mint cups if you wanna, or just use regular ol' mint chocolate chips. Either way, be prepared to fall in love!
Servings: 18 donuts
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ⅔ cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup andes mint chips I used regular ol' Mint Chocolate Chips
- 2 bags mint fudge cups from Dollar Tree - (Again, I used Mint Chocolate Chips)
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cream butter, vanilla, and sugars. Add the egg, sour cream and buttermilk and beat again. Combine all the dry ingredients and slowly incorporate them into the butter mixture. Stir in the andes chips by hand.
- Fill donut cavities at least 3/4 full. Bake 9 minutes. Let sit in pan for about 2 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Melt mint fudge cups with 1 Tablespoon shortening. Stir every 30 seconds so it doesn't burn. Dip tops of donuts into the melted mint.
- Sprinkle with desired sprinkles, jimmies or sugar.
Notes
- I love adding sprinkles on top! You can even do crushed candy canes.
