Description

Delightful Grinch-themed donuts perfect for holiday celebrations.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Tablespoon whole milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon corn syrup
  • 3 drops neon green food coloring
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • Large Red Heart Sprinkles
  • Green Dusting Sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat in the eggs, milk, vanilla, and butter. Beat until well blended.
  2. Spray donut pan with cooking spray. Fill each donut cup about ¾ full (I use a ziploc with the corner snipped to do this neatly). Fills about 8-10 donuts.
  3. Bake donuts in a 325 degree oven for about 11-14 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from pan.
  4. While cooling, make glaze. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, mix together the cream, milk, butter, vanilla, and corn syrup. When butter is completely melted, add in food coloring and remove from heat.
  5. Whisk in the powdered sugar, adding it slowly until desired consistency.
  6. Dip each donut into the glaze, then add green dusting sugar and one large red heart sprinkle on top.
  7. Let sit and dry for a few minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the donut pan is well-coated with cooking spray for easy removal.
  • Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve the desired shade of green.
  • Allow donuts to cool completely before glazing for better texture.
