Peppermint Chocolate Donuts

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a donut pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, Splenda Monk Fruit Sweetener, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: coffee, melted butter, extract, and egg.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet in 3 batches, mixing the batter thoroughly in between adding the dry ingredients.
5. Carefully fill each donut tin about ¾ of the way full. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool, then remove donuts to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat for the rest of the batter.
6. Place chocolate chips and oil into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave until melted. Stir until smooth. Spread a couple of teaspoons of melted chocolate over each donut, then sprinkle each with crushed peppermints. Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle melted white chocolate over each donut if desired.
7. Let cool and enjoy immediately!
