I could literally down an entire box in one sitting.
Soooooo . . .
to celebrate?
Milk and Cereal Donuts, of course!
What else? 🙂
These Milk and Cereal Donuts are surprisingly easy to make and super fun to eat.
Pass the milk and cereal {donuts}, please!
Before we get into the recipe today, did you guys watch the video above? 👆
Trevor and I had a little too much fun making it. 😉
If you watched it then you know we’re working with LACTAID® today…
and we’re super pumped.
Who better to partner with to celebrate National Cereal Day?
No more #DairyEnvy for those of you with dairy sensitivities, because LACTAID® has worked for over 30 years to introduce high-quality, lactose-free products that…
Guess what?!
ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD!
Their products are real dairy, just without the lactose, and I promise you, you’ll never even miss it. 😉
So, today, I used LACTAID® Whole Milk in this Milk and Cereal Donuts Recipe, so that even those with dairy sensitivities can enjoy National Cereal Day!
It all starts by making “cereal milk” – soak your choice of cereal and milk for 30 minutes.
Once you have your cereal milk ready, you’ll combine that with cake mix (yellow or chocolate – yes, please!), an egg, oil, and more cereal.
That’s it for the base, you guys.
How easy is that?!
Now that the batter is ready, you have two options:
- Mini Donut Holes
- Donuts
I did both. 🙂
Either scoop batter into a mini muffin tin or fill a plastic baggie with the batter and pipe it into a donut pan (I’d recommend watching the video above 👆 to see exactly how we did this).
Then bake ’em up, and dunk them into a glaze (vanilla or chocolate – again, yes, please!) – powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, cocoa powder (if making the chocolate glaze), and a pinch of salt – and top with more cereal!
Have fun with this Milk and Cereal Donuts Recipe by trying it with different cake mixes and cereals… whatever you choose, they WILL be delicious…
and devoured. 😉
