Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and spray donut pan with non-stick spray.
Combine milk and vinegar, set aside and let sit for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, sift and mix together flour, xanthan gum, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg, oil, coffee and vanilla. Whisk in milk/vinegar mixture until combined.
Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Don't over mix!
Bake donuts for 8-10 minutes. The top of the donut will spring back when touched when done. Mine were done after 9 minutes.
Cool donuts on a wire rack.
To prepare the peppermint glaze, add powdered sugar, peppermint extract and milk in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
Dip cooled (can be slightly warm) donuts 1/3 of the way in the peppermint glaze. Top with peppermint pieces.
