And the baked doughnut kick continues…. ;). I hadn’t planned on making funfetti doughnuts, but I looked at the batter and I just couldn’t help dumping in some sprinkles. Voilà – funfetti! Who can resist anything with sprinkles? I admit these taste more like a cupcake than a doughnut, but I mean, I like cupcakes too ;). Jordan said these weren’t as good as the Blueberry Doughnuts, but I thought they were better because they had sprinkles! Enjoy!
