Treat your sweeties with these easy to make cake batter flavored baked donuts! This recipe is a fun twist on homemade baked donuts.

Some people stress eat, I stress bake. Well to be honest, I stress make. I find doing something creative during stressful times really helps clear my mind and relax my soul. Right now my kitchen table is littered with brush pens, paper and watercolors. Could be worse things I suppose.

The kids asked for donuts this morning. They deserve donuts. They are stuck at home, adapting to doing school online, can’t see their friends and are stuck with yours truly…all.the.time. Unfortunately, our local donut places have limited hours right now. So I had to get creative.

I decided that I prefer homemade baked donuts to the ones from the store for a couple of reasons. These ones aren’t deep fried, so they are better for you. Not saying the baked ones are healthy, but they are better for you than the greasy ones from the shop. Also, these ones don’t leave you with a achy stomach like the fried ones.

Donut Baking Supplies

There’s a couple of special items you will need for this cake batter flavored baked donuts recipe. One is some donut pans. If you don’t have any you might be able to use cupcake pans and adjust your cooking time…but those are cupcakes, not donuts. There are so many options for donut pans! There are the boring metal ones like I have. Then there are brightly colored silicone ones and there are ones that give you fun shaped donuts!

The other item is this Cake Batter Flavoring. So you can absolutely make this recipe without it, subbing vanilla or almond extract, but the cake batter gives it a little something special.

Sprinkles on donuts are important. Okay, maybe not to you, but they are to me. Unfortunately, we are on a very limited supply of sprinkles right now, and I can’t just run to the store to get some. All I have in the cupboard is some red sugar crystals, meh.

I have a favorite brand of sprinkles, is that weird? Probably. So I’m placing an order, and I’m going to hide them, just like I hide the fruit snacks, candy and bars from my kids. The only thing I don’t hide is ice cream, for obvious reasons. We have some major sweet tooths (teeth?) in this house, who will stop at nothing for their fix!
