It’s officially summertime and the kids have been begging to help bake in the kitchen. After enjoying some mini donuts at a wedding reception weeks ago, we decided to try and recreate the yummy flavors. We came up with these delicious and easy fruity pebble mini donuts. The kids love them! They would be fun to make for a kids birthday or summer family gathering. I hope you enjoy them!

Easy Fruity Pebble Mini Donuts: Equiptment

This little donut maker is so quick and easy to use! My daughter was given this for Christmas last year. If you have a little one that is interested in baking, this makes a really fun gift for them! I also like to use a sheet of my favorite parchment sheets under the rack for easy mess clean up!

This recipe for the donut batter is simple and delicious. It has a cake-like texture and the flavor is neutral enough that you can frost the donuts with different flavors for variety. You might be surprised to see nutmeg as a spice in the batter, but it really gives the flavor such depth!

If you don’t have any buttermilk on hand, no worries. I have added a simple substitute in the recipe.
