Double Glazed Funfetti Donuts

I am really sorry to do this to you.

Because, you know, we’re like friends.
I mean, at least I think of you as my friends…
BUT I imagine if we were REALLY friends I wouldn’t do to you what I am about to do.
I am going to give you, in advance, a weight problem.
If you have never struggled with your weight, God bless ya, but that is about to change.
There are no exercises to help you here.
No amount of running.
No solution to what is going to unfold in your life in the next minute.
It’s really mean, I suppose.
But since we are friends, I must share.
Because that’s what friends do.
We share.
There’s no turning back.
I am going to share with you a recipe for donuts.
In your kitchen.
With no frying involved.
Only a remarkable pan and some cake mix.
It’s really happening, folks.
Donut pan
Last week I attended a really great Blogger Workshop hosted my the incredible people at Wilton.
We frosted, we fondanted, we decorated, we toured…
and we shopped.
The Wilton tent sale is amazing…rows and rows of products all marked down 50%.
That is where I gained possession of the donut pan.
I am scared of its power.
 
A food that would once be deemed “highly unlikely” to be procured from my kitchen is now going to be a staple.
I might as well get a conveyer belt and a sign that says “Hot Donuts Now”.
You’d come over, right?
Well, now you won’t have to.
You can have hot donuts in 10 minutes.
I wish I were lying.
 Lord help the holes on my belt…they are about to be tested.
 
Don’t say you weren’t warned, friend.

Get your cake mix ready..

I used a ziplock for easy filling…

Cut of the corner of the ziplock and squeeze batter into each donut mold, filling 2/3 full.

Bake for 7-9 minutes until the tops are slightly browned and spring back when touched.

Let donuts cool in pan for 5 minutes and then turn pan upside down to remove.

Then glaze them up!

 I just dropped each donut into the saucepan and quickly coated, transferring onto a cooling rack with parchment or a silicon mat under to catch the glaze drippings.

Then frost them again.  I know.

Stir both ingredients together until smooth.

Spread approx 1 tsp of frosting on top of each donut and immediately coat with sprinkles.

  • 1 tsp vanilla

White Frosting

  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • *sprinkles if desired

Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 425°
  2. Spray the donut pan lightly with cooking spray.

  1. I just got a mini donut pan! We tried the recipe that came with it (not Wilton, don't worry) and it was horrid. Now I can't wait to try this one because seriously, can anything Funfetti be bad???

  2. Les rêves d'une boulangère (Brittany)

    10 minutes? That's incredible! I never thought donuts would be a "common bake" in my house but looks like that's about to change. I can't believe there's no messy frying etc. These look just delicious. I am ignoring your statement about their potential to make me gain weight haha – I don't care – I have to have one of these pans!

  3. Georgia Pellegrini

    I didn't know there was such a thing as donut pans! I'm always learning things from you girl…

  4. Diet, hell! I'm getting a pan tomorrow, and when my grandson (4 1/2) is here in a couple of weeks, we're makin' your donuts! We gotta splurge now and then! Love your stuff!

  5. Well, I guess I'm off on a quest to buy this pan now.
    Golly gee, thanks for undermining my attempt to start eating healthier. (It easier if I can blame it on somebody else.)
