Ingredients
For the Donuts
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- ¾ cup buttermilk (regular milk can be substituted)
- 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
- ½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 3 drops pink gel food coloring
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal lightly crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a donut pan well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal and buttermilk. Stir lightly and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Add the egg, melted butter, sugar, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract to the cereal mixture. Stir until fully combined.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
- Fill each donut cavity about ¾ full using a spoon or piping bag. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops spring back lightly when touched. Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before removing.
- While the donuts cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and pink food coloring until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze. Immediately sprinkle crushed Fruity Pebbles over the glaze before it sets.
