I love following Chez CateyLou’s recipes and her blog and recently fell in love with her Candy Corn Donuts (they are way easier to make than you’d think).

Ingredients For the Donuts

    • 1 cup flour
    • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • dash nutmeg
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1/4 cup yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the Glaze
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • dash salt
  • orange food coloring
  • yellow food coloring

Instructions For the Donuts

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degreesF. Grease two 6-cavity donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
    2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.
    3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar, egg, milk, yogurt, and vanilla until very well combined.
    4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
    5. Spoon the batter into the donut cavities, filling each one just over half full (this makes about 10 donuts). Bake the donuts for 8 – 10 minutes. Allow them to cool in the pan for a minute, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Glaze
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar, butter, cream, salt and 1 T heavy cream. Keep adding heavy cream until desired consistency is reached. Divide the glaze into three bowls. Keep one white, color one orange, and color one yellow.
  2. Once the donuts are cooled, spread the icing on the donuts in three stripes – white on the top, orange in the middle, and yellow on the bottom. Allow the glaze to set, then serve.

Ever since I moved into the Millennium Kirby I have had an even bigger craving to cook and bake more, and it’s super helpful that I live so close to multiple grocery stores. [SPONSORED]
