It’s no secret that we’ve been getting creative in the kitchen during this time at home. My littlest loves to bake and so most days he goes and stands in the pantry and tries to figure out what he can use to make a sweet treat. Usually we cook from scratch but I’ll be honest, I’ve been getting a little lazy lately and looking for shortcuts. So when my little guy asked me if we could make donuts, instead of pulling out all the ingredients, I took a shortcut and helped him whip up these Funfetti Pancake Mix Donuts. With simple, store bought pancake mix and a few ingredients you likely already have in your fridge, you can make these easy donuts that are totally kid approved.
