Ingredients

Units Scale

For the donuts:

  • 1 box funfetti cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup water

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Colorful sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the funfetti cake mix, unsweetened applesauce, and water until well mixed.
  3. Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Glaze the donuts: Once the donuts have cooled slightly, dip the tops into the glaze and place them on a wire rack. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles while the glaze is still wet.
  7. Serve: Allow the glaze to set before serving the donuts. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute milk for the water in the donut batter.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
