Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk (you can use skim, 1%, 2%, whole, almond, soy, coconut, or rice milk)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or substitute with sour cream, nonfat, low fat, vanilla, plain, or regular yogurt)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
1/4 cup milk
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional: extra sprinkles for topping
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease your donut pan to prevent sticking, while gathering all ingredients for smooth sailing.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and granulated sugar until evenly mixed.
3-In another bowl, whisk the milk, yogurt, and egg until smooth, then add the melted butter and vanilla, whisking until fully combined as per the recipe directions.
4-Next, pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir gently until just combined, remembering not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
5-Fold in the rainbow sprinkles carefully to avoid color bleeding, which helps maintain that fun, festive look.
6-Fill the donut cavities about 2/3 to 3/4 full, using a zipped-top bag as a piping bag for neat and easy handling, then bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.
7-After baking, let the donuts cool slightly in the pan before removing them, which makes handling easier and prevents breakage.
8-To prepare the glaze, combine milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat, whisking until smooth, then remove from heat.
9-Dunk each donut into the glaze to coat evenly, place on a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch drips, and sprinkle extra sprinkles on top if desired.
