We jumped on the pancake cereal bandwagon and added our own spin with these mini funfetti donuts. We start with a boxed cake mix to make things easier–try experimenting with any flavor you like!

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, egg, oil, and water until well combined w. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag fitted with a small round tip.
3
Pipe the batter into 1-inch donut shapes onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about ½ inch apart. Dip a finger in water and smooth the tops of the donuts as needed.
4
Bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the donuts are cooked through and lighten golden brown. Let cool completely on the pans. Poke a straw through any centers that may have closed during baking, then transfer to wire racks.
5
Make the glaze: Sift the powdered sugar and meringue powder into a large bowl. Whisk in the water and food coloring until the glaze is smooth. Add more water as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the glazes reaches your desired consistency.
6
Spoon the glaze over a few donuts, then top with sprinkles while the glaze is still wet. Repeat with the remaining donuts. Let the glaze dry for 1 hour before serving.
7
Divide the donut cereal between bowls and pour milk over. Serve immediately.
