Continuing with Pride month and wonderful rainbow inspired eats and treats! I’m no stranger to colorful donuts, but these Rainbow Pride Donuts are the brightest and boldest ones I’ve made yet. It’s a happy coincidence that my donut pan is also heart shaped, which made these Pride donuts just that much more perfect!
To keep these donuts lightened up, I of course baked them. I also used less sugar and threw some whole wheat white flour in there. Other than that, these rainbow beauties are fairly standard to any other baked donuts. Except for being full of Pride and color!
My kiddo, who is one of the biggest donut snobs on the planet, has already eaten three of these. I guess that means that I’m going to have to make more of these sooner than I had planned! Which I’m totally fine with.
Honestly you can made these donuts with whatever colors you want. My kid suggested next time that I made some for the different Pride flags, which I think I just might do! And yes, Pride month is extra extra special in my house this year.
Rainbow Pride Donuts
Ingredients
- 1/2 C. Whole Wheat White Flour
- 1/2 C. All-Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp. Sugar
- 2 Tbsp. Natural Sweetener
- 1 Tsp. Baking Powder
- 1/4 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
- 1 Large Egg
- 1/4 C. Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 C. Fat Free Milk
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Light Butter, Softened
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- Food Coloring
- Sprinkles
- 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar
- 1 Tbsp. Fat Free Milk
- 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and lightly spray a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine the 1/2 C. Whole Wheat White Flour, 1/2 C. All-Purpose Flour, 2 Tbsp. Sugar, 2 Tbsp. Natural Sweetener, 1 Tsp. Baking Powder, and 1/4 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon into a large bowl until well blended. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 Large Egg, 1/4 C. Plain Fat Free Greek Yogurt, 1/4 C. Fat Free Milk, 1 1/2 Tbsp. Light Butter, and 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the wet ingredients in with the dry and combine just until everything is fully incorporated.
- Divide the batter evenly and color accordingly with a few drops of food coloring; stir just until blended evenly.
- Spoon or pipe the dough into the prepared donut pan, dividing evenly among the sections.
- I put my batter into a ziplock bags, sealed them, cut the ends off and used that to pipe into my pan.
- Place the pan into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the donuts are cooked through.
- The donuts will not turn golden brown, but should 'spring back' to the touch when done.
- In the mean time, whisk 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar, 1 Tbsp. Fat Free Milk and 1/2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract together for the glaze and set aside.
- Once done, remove the donuts from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
- When the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip them face-down into the glaze and set on a wire rack; sprinkle those bad boys up right away and let them set. Maybe 5 minutes or so.
- Enjoy! One or... two.
