Easy Baked Donuts

My kids have been begging to put up Valentine’s Day decorations and make donuts. This weekend I finally made it happen!
For my kids, the most exciting part of making donuts is the decorating. That got me thinking that I needed to find a shortcut on the homemade donut recipe. Instead of spending an hour making donuts, I wanted it to be quick and easy so we could get to the fun part! I decided to use a cake mix and I used coconut oil and almond milk to make it a somewhat healthier version.

Of course my daughter wanted pink donuts and my son wanted chocolate. I used a vanilla glaze on the pink and made a quick Nutella glaze for the chocolate, which was delicious! Check out the recipe down below. [left]

The kids had a blast making these and I didn’t have to commit to a full day of baking and a huge mess afterwards. This would be a fun activity for a birthday party too! Happy Baking!
