Baked Funfetti Donuts

Funfetti Donuts . . . you can’t help but smile when you bite into a donut filled with sprinkles! These fun donuts are easy to make at home. 

My kids love it when I make baked donuts. In fact, my twelve year old is constantly asking me to make my cinnamon sugar donuts. They are one of his favorite treats.

My six year old, on the other hand, prefers these funfetti donuts. She loves anything with sprinkles!

I myself  feel that sprinkles are more for show. I love how pretty they look, but unlike my daughter, I don’t love the taste. That being said, I still loved these donuts. So whether you are a tolerator of sprinkles or a sprinkle fanatic, you should try these donuts!

I used traditional multi colored jimmies, but I also think it would be fun to use custom colors for a party or celebration. Pink or blue sprinkles would be super cute for a baby shower, don’t you think?

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup flour
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg

• For glaze:
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.

3. Spoon batter into a ziplock bag and snip off the corner. Squeeze the batter into a well greased donut pan. Divide the batter evenly into the six donut wells so the donuts will bake evenly.

5. For glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, and milk in a small bowl, adding enough milk to get a thin consistency.
