With a cool twist, these baked mini mint chocolate doughnuts are a delightful treat. Ideal for get-togethers over the holidays or anytime you want a mouthwatering chocolate-mint combination.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/3 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup buttermilk. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 egg. 1/2 teaspoon mint extract. 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips. 1/4 cup powdered sugar for glaze. 1 tablespoon milk for glaze. 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract for glaze. Green food coloring optional, for glaze. Crushed candy canes optional, for garnish.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a mini doughnut pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and mint extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Spoon the batter into the prepared mini doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean. While the doughnuts are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring if desired. Once the doughnuts have cooled slightly, dip each one into the glaze and return them to a wire rack to set. If desired, sprinkle crushed candy canes on top of the glaze for an extra minty touch. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes, and your baked mini mint chocolate doughnuts are ready to enjoy!

These Sweet Potato Doughnuts are a delicious twist on traditional doughnuts. The mashed sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness and a delightful texture to these fried treats. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or dessert!

Ingredients: 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes. 1/4 cup granulated sugar. 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1 egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon salt. Oil for frying. Powdered sugar for dusting.

Instructions: Mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract should all be combined in a mixing bowl. Blend until thoroughly blended. Mix the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt in a different bowl. Mixing until a dough forms, gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture. On a surface dusted with flour, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. To cut out doughnut shapes, use a doughnut cutter or a glass and a smaller cutter. Preheat the oil in a large, deep saucepan or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius. A few at a time, carefully drop the doughnuts into the heated oil and cook for two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove the doughnuts and set them on paper towels to absorb any remaining oil. After the doughnuts have cooled down a bit, sprinkle them with powdered sugar. Enjoy your freshly made sweet potato doughnuts after serving!
