Ingredients

Donuts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ cup fruity pebbles, (lightly crushed)

Glaze

  • 1½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoon orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, (optional)
  • ½ cup fruity pebbles, for topping

Instructions

Donuts

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease the donut pans. 
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk, egg, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the crushed Fruity Pebbles.
  • Spoon the batter carefully into each donut cavity, filling them about ¾ full. For a mess-free option, transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe it into the pan.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and slightly thick. It should be pourable but thick enough to coat the donuts.
  • Add more orange juice if you want a more vibrant color and flavor. Adjust the powdered sugar accordingly.
  • Dip each cooled donut into the glaze, then immediately sprinkle with more Fruity Pebbles.
  • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
