It’s been an endless search to find healthy, allergy-friendly donuts! I’m talking years without a really good donut (which honestly should be a crime). We all know… if you want something done right, do it yourself. That’s my motto for healthy desserts.

Enter my baked mint chocolate brownie donuts that are decadent, yet fresh and light. Mint chocolate is my go-to flavor for anything! These will give you ALL the Thin Mint cookie vibes.

Mint chocolate is the perfect year-round flavor. Not only is it ideal for the holidays like Christmas, but the mint is light enough for spring and summer too.

The donuts themselves are made from a rich chocolate batter with an incredibly fluffy texture. The creamy mint frosting filling has a secret… it’s crafted from an avocado, but you’d never know!

Unlike traditional donuts, there’s no messy (and unhealthy) frying involved. Just bake them in the oven and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use a substitute for the chia egg?

Yes, you can use a flax egg or an egg replacer like Bob’s Red Mill.

Can I use spearmint oil?

Yes, I love spearmint but I would recommend peppermint oil if you can get it. Most people find that spearmint oil can taste similar to the flavor of gum.
