What’s the Project? You’re going to love this easy donut recipe! Only 3 ingredients needed to make these homemade donuts and they taste amazing!

Raise your hand (and ok, jump around and scream and yell a little too) if you are ready for Fall!? I just LOVE Fall, but I think the feeling is pretty mutual right? I don’t think I am alone in this. I mean, I love summer too. A lot. So I am glad it is followed up by something as wonderful as Fall. If we could just cut January and February right out of the calendar…

But anyway. I know what you love about Fall. Other than the leaves and the cooler temperatures and that feeling in the air and the warm clothes and the pumpkins… You love the food, don’t you? Me too. Fall kicks in and I bake. Nonstop. Until January hits. Today I am sharing a super easy donut recipe. Two or three ingredients is about all you need to make these beauties!

Easy Donut Recipe-These homemade donuts are SO easy to make! You only need 3 ingredients and taste great! #bake #dessert #dessertrecipes #donuts #yum

And there are three different flavors of these homemade donuts, each as easy to make as the last:

Homemade Doughnuts Recipe that is SO quick and easy and yummy! by Crazy Little Projects

One of my family’s favorite traditions is to make homemade donuts each Fall. These easy donuts are amazingly simple and they taste equally amazing. I promise.

You can cover them with cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar or chocolate frosting. I can’t even decide which is my favorite. I love all three.

 

Homemade Easy Donut Recipe {from Biscuits}:

Seriously, I love making these and I hope you do too! Let’s have a look at how:

    The Best Easy Donut Recipe (Only 3 Ingredients)

    Crazy Little Projects
    These homemade donuts are a fun family tradition and they are super easy to make! Fry up some biscuit dough, cover with toppings, and you've got a great treat!
    Print Recipe Pin Recipe
    Prep Time 5 mins
    Cook Time 5 mins
    Servings 12 donuts

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package of biscuit dough like the Pillsbury kind-just get the regular kind, not anything fancy
    • Cinnamon sugar powdered sugar and/or chocolate frosting
    • Vegetable oil

    Instructions
     

    Open the biscuit package (that's my least favorite part-those things are freaky!), and poke a hole in the center of each of your biscuits:

    Heat your oil over medium heat until it is hot. Place the donuts in the oil:

    • And let them cook, flipping them after a few seconds. You want to make sure that the oil isn't so hot that they cook on the outside really fast or you will have doughy centers. So make the heat hot enough to cook them, but they should take a minute or two to cook fully.
    • Drain them on paper towel.

    While they are still warm, top them. If you are using cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar, just put that in a big Ziploc bag and shake them around (this is the fun part for kids to help with). For the frosting just use a knife to spread it:

 

And that’s it! So easy and I promise, they taste so great!

This is a great tradition in my family. One of my favorites. You’re going to be surprised at just how good these little guys taste.

    Wow. I am going to post this link on a food allergy support group … so many of us practically kill ourselves looking for egg free, peanut and tree nut free donuts … so many of our kids have NEVER EATEN A DONUT!

    My daughter is going to be in absolute heaven when I make them next week for the last day of school.

    Awesome!

    My mom use to make us donuts from canned biscuits when I was a kid in the 50’s. She would roll out the biscuit and then twist it before dropping them in the pan to deep fry. When they were done she would roll them in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This was the poor mans donut. We never knew what a donut from a bakery was.
