How To Make Thin Mint Donuts: 

Ingredients

Thin Mint Donuts

In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder and salt. Stir until combined. Add in the wet ingredients: coconut oil and the buttermilk and stir until fully mixed.

Allow the donuts to cool for 5 minutes in the pan then remove to allow them to cool the rest of the way. 

While your donuts are cooling, prepare the green icing

Melt white chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a medium size microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute and then continue in 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth. 

Add the mint extract and a few drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green color

Dip the donuts into the melted chocolate covering them about halfway up the sides. You’ll just kind of swirl the donuts around the white chocolate icing to coat them in a mint glaze. 

Allow the excess chocolate to drip off and set them on a wire rack to fully cure. Repeat with remaining donuts.

To make the Chocolate Drizzle, Melt dark chocolate with the oil in a microwave safe bowl. 

Microwave for 1 minute and then continue in 30 second intervals until chocolate is smooth.

Using a fork, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the glazed donut and allow the chocolate to dry and harden.

Instead of the drizzle, you could also try sprinkling your donuts with mini chocolate chips or chocolate sprinkles.
