Time: 1 hour Yield: 12-15 donuts Ingredients:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. Cinnamon
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
¾ cups whole milk
1 egg
1 tsp. Vanilla extract

Glaze:

1 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
2-5 Tbsp. milk
Yellow food dye (or color of your choice)
Sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a donut pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter and milk. This mixture will look a tad lumpy - don’t worry!
Whisk in the egg and vanilla to the butter and milk mixture.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and whisk until the mixture is nice and smooth.
Scoop the batter into the greased donut pan. Spread the batter evenly into the pan. Fill each mold about ¾ of the way full.
Bak for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
Remove the donuts from the pan and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and milk 1 Tbsp. at a time until smooth. Add in the food dye.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip the face up side of each donut down into the glaze. Allow excess glaze to drip back into the bowl.
While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle on your favorite festive sprinkles.
Enjoy!

Frequently asked questions

What comes in a Baketivity baking kit?

Each Baketivity baking kit includes pre-measured dry ingredients, easy step-by-step instructions, and fun educational activities designed for kids. Our recipes are created to help children learn real kitchen skills while baking something delicious with their family.

Do I need to buy additional ingredients?

You may only need to add a few fresh ingredients like eggs, butter, or milk, depending on the recipe. Most of the dry ingredients come pre-measured in the kit, making baking simple, convenient, and mess-free for kids.

What equipment do I need to use the baking kits?

Most families already have everything they need at home. Typically you'll need mixing bowls, a whisk, fork or spoon, measuring cups, and a lined baking pan. Some recipes may also require a microwave-safe bowl or oven.

What age are Baketivity baking kits best for?

Baketivity baking kits are designed for kids ages 4–16. Younger children may need a little help from a parent, while older kids can follow the instructions more independently and build confidence in the kitchen.

Do your baking kits contain nuts?

Nuts are not directly included in the recipes or ingredient lists. However, some components may be produced in facilities that also process nuts, sesame seeds, soy, and gluten, so trace amounts may be present.

Are Baketivity baking kits kosher?

Yes! All ingredients included in Baketivity baking kits are OU-certified kosher, and our facility is FDA-approved, so families can bake and enjoy their treats with confidence.

My ingredients feel hard or clumpy. Is that normal?

Yes! Our ingredients are vacuum-packed to keep them fresh, which can sometimes make them feel firm or clumpy. Simply open the bag and give it a shake, and the ingredients will loosen up and be ready to use.
