You can prepare it the night before and have a cold, creamy, scrumptious, and healthy breakfast the next morning. Much cheaper and easier than the Kashi® bowls.

Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies, or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 16 cavities of a 20-cup donut pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt for donuts together in a medium bowl. Whisk milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla together in a small bowl. Pour milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Put the batter into a piping bag and pipe into the prepared donut pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer donuts to a wire rack to cool while you make the glaze.
- Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl. Whisk milk, melted butter, and peppermint extract together in a separate bowl. Pour milk mixture into the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and shiny.
- Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the wire rack. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the wet glaze. Let sit until glaze hardens, 10 to 15 minutes.

Amazing! This was my first attempt ever at making donuts, and I must say it was a huge success! Followed the directions exactly and they came out so moist and delicious. I did however have a lot of the glaze left over, I don’t think I used half of it….. These won’t last long in my house and I will definitely be adding them to my Christmas baking trays I send out to friends and family this year Yummy!
Very good. We made these last night and they were terrific. They pack a nice peppermint punch, even though we left the candy canes off as a topping. We’ll definitely make these again.
