• 8 oz coconut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup coco powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon peppermint oil
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• Frosting
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 14oz condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint
• 1 tablespoon whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cupcake pan with liners. Soft dry ingredients together, into a large bowl, set aside. In a mixing bowl beat the coconut butter until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the sugar and beat until light in color, about 5 minutes.

Add the egg, beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Alternating buttermilk and flour mixture, continue adding to butter mixture, on lowest setting of mixer, until incorporated; about 5 minutes.

Add the peppermint oil, and mix for about 1 minute. Add the crushed oreo cookies; only give a quick whirl of the mixer, to lightly crush the cookies and slightly mix.

Turn off mixer. Using a spatula, gently fold the cookies into the batter. Fill the cupcake liners 3/4 full.

Bake for 25 minutes. Top will be lightly springy and when you insert a toothpick in the middle it should come out clean.

If not, bake a couple minutes and test again; until the toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven, let cool slightly. Remove cupcakes from pan and let cool on a cooling rack. Frost. Serve. Eat.
