- 30 Minutes – I’ve added a short cut ingredient so you won’t be using too many and it cooks up in just 30 minutes.
- Fun Activity – Your kiddos will have a fun making these!
First, preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or parchment paper.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, ¼ cup water, egg and applesauce. Batter should be stiff and not runny.
Mix thoroughly, fill a pastry bag or zip lock bag and cut a small hole to pipe with. Pipe rings along the sheet tray with batter. (They should be a little bigger than a quarter.) Aren’t these just so adorable?
Next you’ll want to bake them for around 8 minutes or until the donuts start to become golden. They will the same or similar texture to boxed cereal.
While the mini donuts are baking, make the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, meringue powder and water. (if icing is too stiff add just a few drops of water at a time until icing is the consistency to coat)
When done, let donuts cool then drizzle the tops with icing and colored sprinkles. Let donut icing dry for a few minutes.
Enjoy with ice cold milk!
Next up, I’ll be trying to make this with corn flour sugar and whole grain oat flour.
