Ingredients
Doughnuts:
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon mint extract
2–4 drops green food coloring
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Ganache Glaze:
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon butter
Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 6 cavity doughnut pan with baking spray
In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
In another bowl whisk together the milk, butter, eggs, and mint extract
Add a few drops ( a little goes a long way! ) of the green food coloring until your desired color
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips
Spoon the dough into the prepared pan 3/4 of the way
Bake the doughnuts 10-12 minutes. This recipe makes 2 pans
Once cooked let them cool while you make the ganache
Heat up your heavy whipping cream until you see small bubbles around the outsides
Pour the hot cream into a bowl with the chocolate chips and butter. Let it sit a minute before stirring. The chocolate should be completely melted
Dip the top half of the doughnuts into the ganache and let the excess drip off. Sprinkle the tops with more mini chocolate chips for a festive and fun treat!
