INGREDIENTS
- ¾ cup AP flour
- 1 large egg
- 6 Tbsp buttermilk
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Tsp oil
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Mint Frosting
- 2 Tbsp buttermilk, plus more as needed
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ Tsp peppermint extract
- Mini chocolate chips, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS
● Preheat oven to 375°F, and grease a donut pan with a capacity of 6. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, sugar, and baking soda.
● In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, buttermilk, and oil.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures and stir just until no streaks of flour remain.
● Finally, stir in the mini chocolate chips. The batter will be thick. Spoon the batter into the donut molds, smoothing the surface.
● Bake for 8 minutes, or until they spring back when touched.
● Immediately after coming out of the oven, dump the pan onto a cooling rack, and let the donuts cool while making the frosting.
FROSTING
To make the frosting, whisk together all ingredients (minus the chocolate chips) until smooth. Add additional buttermilk as needed to make a smooth consistency.
Spoon the frosting over the donuts and top with the mini chocolate chips.
