Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • cup mini chocolate chips (or add-ins of choice), optional
  • Vanilla icing (recipe below)
  • Sprinkles (or topping of choice)

Vanilla Icing

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray a donut pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pancake mix and sugar.
  • In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk eggs. Whisk milk, melted butter, and vanilla into the eggs, until combined.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, taking care not to over-mix. Gently fold in chocolate chips or your add-ins of your choice.
  • Fill each cavity in donut pan about ¾ of the way with batter. I recommend putting the batter in a plastic bag and cutting off the corner to pipe it into the pan (you can also use a pastry bag).
  • Bake donuts for 9-11 minutes, until they're light and springy to the touch. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. If you only have a 6-cavity donut pan, repeat with remaining batter.
  • When doughnuts are cooled, dip upside down into icing to coat the tops. Add sprinkles or topping of choice.

Vanilla Icing

  • In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar, 2 Tbsp milk, and vanilla extract together until well combined.
  • If you want your icing to be thinner, add remaining Tbsp milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
