Time 40m

Yield 12 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fruity pebble, plus more for topping donuts
2 cups whole milk
nonstick cooking spray
1 (16 ounce) box yellow cake mix
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
cereals for topping doughnut (Fruity Pebbles, Fruit Loops, Cocoa Pebbles, Frosted Flakes)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spread 1 cup fruity pebbles on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool and then stir into 2 cups milk. Let sit 10 minutes, strain to reserve milk and discard cereal.
Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine 1 box cake mix, 1 cup reserved cereal milk, eggs and vegetable oil and mix on medium spread until well combined and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Spoon or pipe batter into prepared pan, filling only about 1/2 way up the sides. Use an offset spatula or spoon to spread evenly, then bake for 12 minutes until donut cakes are set. Let cool 5 minutes on a wire rack, then invert cakes on rack to cool completely.
In a large bowl, whisk to combine confectioners sugar and 1/4 cup reserved cereal milk, adding more if needed 1 tablespoon at a time to make a thick glaze. Dip the donuts into the glaze, place icing side up on a wire rack over a baking sheet, and top with cereals, pressing gently to help adhere.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 donuts

Number Of Ingredients 16

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 cup fruit flavored rice cereal
¾ cup milk
2 ¼ cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup fruit flavored rice cereal, finely crushed
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups fruit flavored rice cereal
2 donut pans, 6 count

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Grease the donut pans with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cereal and milk for the glaze. Set aside to soak while you make the donuts, about 20 minutes. Strain into a clean bowl, pressing on the cereal to extract as much milk as possible.
Make the donuts: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, crushed cereal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until there are no lumps.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans. Leave about ¼ inch (6 ml) from the rim, so they don't overflow.
Bake for 9-10 minutes, until the donuts are just beginning to turn golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling for about 20 minutes.
Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and ¼ cup of the cereal milk. Whisk until smooth.
Add the cereal for topping to a shallow dish.
Once cooled, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze, then into the cereal. Set on a wire rack set over a baking pan to dry for at least 20 minutes, until the glaze is no longer shiny.
Enjoy!
