    Baked Funfetti Donuts on a wire cooling rackMy son has been doing little jobs around the house lately. When I told him that he was a great helper, he said that he was doing jobs so that he could earn donuts.

    I was unaware that donuts were our household currency, but, hey, whatever works!

    Baked Funfetti Donuts {from scratch}

    Since my kids (and my husband) love sprinkles and Funfetti, I wanted to make them a baked Funfetti donut from scratch.

    Now, these baked Funfetti donuts aren't health food, but they have some good-for-you ingredients.

    Also, these donuts are baked, not fried, so they're perfect for those times when you want to celebrate or indulge without going too crazy calorie-wise.

    Ingredients

    Donuts

    • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
    • 2 tablespoons warm water about 100 F
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon . fine sea salt or a pinch of table salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • ¾ cup vanilla Greek yogurt fat-free is ok
    • ¼ cup butter melted
    • ¼ cup low-fat milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • â…“ cup sprinkles

    Glaze

    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 1-3 tablespoon(s) milk
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract I used clear vanilla to keep the glaze white.
    • 3 tablespoons sprinkles

    Instructions

    • To make the donuts, preheat oven to 350 F. Spray two (6-count) doughnut pans with a flour-based baking spray, like Baker's Joy.
    • In a small bowl, stir water and yeast together. Let the yeast sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
    • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
    • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
    • Add the eggs, yogurt, butter, milk, vanilla, and yeast mixture; stir until combined.
    • Gently stir in sprinkles until just incorporated. Do not over-stir as sprinkles can bleed. 
    • Spoon batter (about ¼-cup per donut) into prepared pans, smoothing as needed.
    • Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until set and light golden brown.
    • Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, prepare the glaze.
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to form a thick but viscous glaze.
    • Remove donuts to wire rack, and drizzle warm donuts with glaze.
    • Add sprinkles while glaze is still warm. Once the glaze sets up, the sprinkles won't stick.
    • Donuts are best enjoyed warm.

      You've forgotten to include the sprinkles that are in the donuts in your recipe instructions.

          No Problem! They turned out AMAZING btw :)
          I don't own a donut pan, so I made these into little donut cupcakes instead. They turned out really great that way, and were basically like giant, cupcake-shaped donut holes, if any other people lacking in donut pans were wondering, hahaha! I've made them tons of times and they always turn out, they always look adorable. Thanks for such a fantastic recipe!
