Description
Delightful Grinch-themed donuts perfect for the holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoon corn syrup
- 3 drops neon green food coloring
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- Large Red Heart Sprinkles
- Green Dusting Sugar
Instructions
- For the donuts, mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla, and butter. Beat until well blended.
- Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (using a ziploc bag with the corner snipped for neatness). This fills about 8-10 donuts.
- Bake donuts in a 325-degree oven for about 11-14 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the pan.
- While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla, and corn syrup. When the butter is completely melted, add in the food coloring and remove from heat.
- Whisk in the powdered sugar slowly until desired consistency is achieved.
- Dip each donut into the glaze, then add green dusting sugar and one large red heart sprinkle on top.
- Let sit and dry for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover donuts in an airtight container.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
- These donuts can be made ahead of time and frozen; reheat before serving.
