Breakfast Idea: 15-Minute Homemade Donuts
Homemade Donuts that taste like what you get at the local bakery, but you can make them at home in 15 minutes! This easy donut recipe is perfect for a quick weekend treat and it’s always sure to satisfy those sweet tooth cravings.
Bite size donuts (AKA Donut Holes) with a lightly crisp and golden brown, sugar coated exterior, and a soft and fluffy, tender interior. Just like an old fashioned cake donut but ready in a flash!
I made this easy donut recipe because who can resist a fresh donut? But how many of us actually want to put in all the typical effort of a homemade donut? I’ve seen donut holes made with a store-bought biscuit dough but I’m all about the freshly made dough.
It’s a hundred times better and unbelievably easy. No mixer required, no kneading, rolling or cutting. Just a quick stir and shaping and they’re ready for frying!
Then you can finish them as you like. I just go the sugar route but you can also cover them with: vanilla donut glaze, chocolate icing, cinnamon sugar or pumpkin spice sugar, or simple powered sugar. Enjoy!
