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!
