Ingredients

Doughnuts:

1 1/2 cups whole milk
3/4 cup Cinnamon Pebbles Cereal
2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs lightly beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
3 tablespoons “cereal” milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Cinnamon Pebbles Cereal

Instructions

Combine milk and Cinnamon Pebbles in a cereal bowl. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Strain out milk, measuring 3/4 cup for the doughnuts and reserving the rest for the glaze. (Discard cereal.)
1 1/2 cups whole milk, 3/4 cup Cinnamon Pebbles Cereal
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add reserved cereal milk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
2 cups cake flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Spoon doughnut batter in a gallon zip top bag. Cut off a 1/2 inch piece from one corner. Pipe into each doughnut cup.
Bake 7-9 minutes or until the top of the doughnuts spring back when touched. Let cool in pan 4-5 minutes before removing.
Make the glaze while doughnuts cool. In small bowl, stir together sugar, reserved cereal milk and vanilla extract until sugar is completely dissolved. Use immediately to glaze donuts. Sprinkle top with Cinnamon Pebbles cereal. Serve immediately.
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, 3 tablespoons “cereal” milk, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup Cinnamon Pebbles Cereal

Notes

To make mini doughnuts, use mini doughnut pans. Fill them less fully proportionally than you would your full-size doughnut. Bake for 4-5 minutes until they spring back, then cool and glaze as with traditional doughnuts. Mini doughnuts typically make four doughnuts for every regular-size doughnut.
