Mocha Donuts with Peppermint Glaze

Happy national donut day! But for me, everyday is donut day. Donuts  make me happy. And these donuts are good. Not just good, better than good. They are heaven. A floating-on-the-clouds kind of heaven. And the best part? They’re baked. The donuts have the softest interior, paired beautifully with the richness of chocolate and coffee. Chocolate, coffee and peppermint really is a match made in heaven. If you like donuts, try this recipe. If you hate donuts, definitely try this recipe.
