Ingredients

For Donuts

1 cup Fruity Pebbles Cereal
¾ cup Buttermilk
1 ⅔ cup All-Purpose Flour
¾ teaspoon Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
4 tablespoons Butter melted (salted)
½ cup Granulated Sugar
1 Large Egg
2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream
2 tablespoons Canola Oil
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

For Glaze

1 ½ cup Powdered Sugar
3 tablespoons Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Strawberry Extract
3 drops Pink Gel Food Dye
1 cup Fruity Pebbles Cereal

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Place 1 cup of fruity pebbles and the buttermilk in a large mixing bowl. Give a slight stir and set aside.
Combine all dry ingredients for the donuts (flour, baking powder, and baking soda). Mix.
Lightly whisk the egg before adding it to the bowl with the cereal and buttermilk in it. Add the oil, vanilla, Greek yogurt, sugar, and melted butter to the bowl as well. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
Add the flour mixture to the buttermilk mixture, a bit at a time, and stir it in until thoroughly combined.
Get the prepared donut pan and fill each cavity about ¾ of the way full. Use a piping bag or a spoon.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the tops of the donuts are spring back when slightly pressed.
Do not remove the donuts from the pan. Just set the donuts away from the stove for about 10 minutes or until cool.
While the donuts are cooling, mix together all the ingredients for the glaze, except the cereal, and stir until thoroughly combined.
Gently remove the donuts from the pan and dip the tops of the donuts in the prepared glaze, before placing them glaze up on a piece of parchment paper, a pan, plate, etc.
Lightly crush the remaining 1 cup of fruity pebbles and sprinkle in a diagonal direction across the corners of each donut.
Serve, eat, and enjoy!

Notes

Immediately after glazing donuts, sprinkle with crushed cereal. If you allow the glaze to harden, the cereal will not stick.

When making the glaze, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until you get the right consistency.

If you don't have a donut pan, try this recipe to make mini muffins instead. Adjust baking time based on the size of your muffin pan.
