Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Orange zest for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and grease a donut pan

In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, rainbow sprinkles, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, freshly squeezed orange juice, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched

While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice until smooth

Once the donuts are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Dip each cooled donut into the orange glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them back on the wire rack

Sprinkle some additional rainbow sprinkles and orange zest on top of the glazed donuts for decoration

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving

Enjoy your homemade Orange Glazed Funfetti Donuts!
