This Funfetti Donut Recipe was a hit in our house. The whole family is a huge fan of donuts. We are super excited to be having a Dunkin Donuts open near us in the next few weeks. The whole family is waiting patiently for it to open, ha ha. I am excited but worry that Dunkin Donuts will be tempting us to purchase donuts more often. That means my budget will be hurting a bit if we do, ha ha. I will need to deter them with making yummy donuts at home. We all love our easy Cinnamon Sugar Donut Bites Recipe (they are similar to Dunkin Donuts Munchkins). This past week I whipped up this Super easy Funfetti Donut recipe to prove to them that we can enjoy donuts at home on the cheap.
Funfetti Donuts Recipe
Our Funfetti Donuts looked just like they were purchased at a donut shop. I think they tasted just as good… if not better. Plus… making homemade donuts at home saves me quite a few $$’s.
I always have cake mixes on hand and cake mixes make great cake donuts. Funfetti Cake Mixes are an item that I have in the pantry almost all the time. Grab yourself a Funfetti Cake Mix and whip yourself up these fun and tasty Funfetti Donuts.
INGREDIENTS
DONUTS:
2 3/4 cup Funfetti Box Cake Mix
3/4 cup Buttermilk
2 tbsp melted Butter
2 Eggs
GLAZE:
1 cup Powdered Sugar
3 tbsp Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 425.
Combine cake mix, buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs and stir just until well mixed.
Transfer mixture to a zippered bag and cut off corner for piping.
Pipe into a donut pan filling each about 2/3 of the way but make sure it doesn’t top center hole.
Bake about 8 minutes, until tops rebound when pressed.
Leave donut in pan for about 3 minutes.
Remove from pan and set on cooling rack.
In a small bowl just big enough to dip donuts, combine glaze ingredients and stir until smooth.
Dip top of donut in glaze.
Hold above bowl allowing excess to drip off.
Place donut on wax paper or return to cooling rack (glaze side up).
Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
Wait for glaze to set.
My donut pan has saved me from purchasing store bought donuts countless times. If you are needing a donut pan, I highly recommend this Wilton Nonstick Donut Pan
. You can purchase yourself a donut pan from Amazon or use a coupon at Michael’s to score one locally.
