Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and unsalted butter until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the large eggs to the sugar-butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until just combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, milk, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Once baked, allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Step 12

Drizzle or dip the cooled donuts with the glaze and sprinkle with extra Fruity Pebbles cereal on top for added crunch and color.

Step 13

Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
