Best 6 Baked Confetti Doughnuts Recipes

BAKED CONFETTI DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Lightly spray 2 doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix cake mix, Bisquick mix, sugar and salt. Stir in milk and eggs. Mix until well combined. Stir in 3 tablespoons nonpareils. Fill each doughnut cup three-fourths full.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until doughnuts spring back when touched. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir frosting and warm water with spoon until smooth. Dip one side of each doughnut into glaze; top with 1/4 cup nonpareils.

CINNAMON BAKED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 doughnut pans well.
• Into a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
• Spoon the batter into the baking pans, filling each one a little more than three-quarters full. Bake for 17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then tap the doughnuts out onto a sheet pan.
• For the topping, melt the 8 tablespoons of butter in an 8-inch saute pan. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Dip each doughnut first in the butter and then in the cinnamon sugar, either on one side or both sides.

BAKED CAKE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly brush two standard donut pans with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter and sugars on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to medium; add eggs and vanilla, beating until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in two batches, alternating with milk, and beat just until combined.
• Transfer batter to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag, and snip a 1/2-inch hole in one corner of bag. Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans. Bang pans several times on counter to release air bubbles.
• Bake until tops of donuts spring back when lightly pressed, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. To decorate, see Variations below.

BAKED DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet, or donut baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and flour. Mix buttermilk, eggs, honey and butter in a separate medium bowl, and stir into the dry ingredients. Spoon the mixture onto the prepared pan in doughnut shapes.
• Bake 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown.

BAKED CONFETTI DONUTS WITH EASY CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
• Add the wet ingredient mixture to the flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined. It should look like thick cake batter.
• Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into your batter.
• Grease your donut pan with cooking spray (I use a Misto spray bottle [affiliate link] with vegetable oil instead of store-bought cooking spray - healthier and more environmentally friendly!)
• Spoon donut batter into a pastry bag with no piping tip (you could also use a plastic bag and snip off a corner with scissors).
• Pipe donut batter into donut pan, filling each cavity a little more than halfway full.
• Bake donuts at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on top.
• Remove donuts from oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-6 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
• When donuts are nearly cooled, make the glaze.
• Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium mixing bowl.
• Add melted butter and whisk it into the powdered sugar.
• Whisk vanilla extract and milk into powdered sugar mixture until smooth. The glaze should be thick and shiny.
• Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the wire cooling rack (you may want to put a towel or plate under the wire rack to catch any drips of frosting). Top donuts with sprinkles while glaze is still wet.
• Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes or so, then serve and enjoy!
