Mini Rainbow Doughnuts

Don’t you just love everything mini? Especially when it’s bright and fun colors! Rainbow Week continues today with these yummy Mini Rainbow Doughnuts…and guess what? They are super easy too!

I love these mini rainbow donuts- they are perfect for Unicorn parties, rainbow parties, St. Patrick’s Day- any fun celebration!

These little bites of sunshine start with a cake mix and with only 3 more ingredients plus the bright coloring, you have Mini Rainbow Doughnuts done in a flash! This recipe makes fluffy, baked doughnuts like the Cinnamon Roll Doughnuts I shared. It’s a quick recipe to put together on the weekends, even if you don’t add the coloring.

Wouldn’t these make a fun breakfast to start off a birthday celebration? Or maybe when the kids have a sleep over?

After mixing the doughnut batter, divide it into 6 separate bowls and add the coloring. Then place the batter in resealable bags, you could also use decorator frosting bags, but it’s a little less expensive this way. Then just pipe a very small amount of batter into the Doughnut Pan. I added the purple and then the yellow on the opposite side, then filled in with the other colors.

You can also make them a single color and then stack them…definitely fun too!

Whip up a little glaze with powdered sugar, milk and vanilla for dipping these little babies in!
