Baked Donuts
Bring on the baked donuts!! How fun is St. Patrick’s Day baking? It doesn’t take much to excite me does it, lol! My Green Velvet Baked Sprinkle Donuts are a must for the upcoming green holiday. The boys were over the moon when they saw these sitting on the counter this week. Let’ s take a look at how to whip up some baked donuts!
Try my Gingerbread Baked Donuts too! Follow Picky Palate on Instagram for daily recipe inspiration.
I have a new addition to my kitchen counter. Mr. Lime Green KitchenAid looks so lovely sitting next to my hot pink one. If you like this lime green one, I’ll be giving one away in the next couple weeks so stay tuned!! Break out your favorite sprinkles and let’s get started.
How To Make Baked Donuts
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, egg, vanilla, pudding mix and buttermilk into a stand mixer. Beat on low to combine. Add 4-5 drops of green food coloring, stir to combine.
- Scoop batter into prepared donut pan (in 2 batches). Bake for 15-20 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
- To prepare icing, whisk together the powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth and thick. Spread icing over tops of donuts then sprinkle with colorful sprinkles of your choice.
This is such a simple recipe, add your flour and sugar.
Baking powder, salt and buttermilk.
Egg and vanilla.
A few tablespoons of pudding mix.
A few drops of green food coloring.
Time to fill the donut pan! Do you have one of these? They’ll only cost you about $10. Bed Bath and Beyond has them and you can find them on Amazon too 🙂
While the donuts are baking, prepare the icing. It’s just powdered sugar and heavy cream.
Now, at first glance the donuts won’t look bright green, but when you bite into them you’ll see the lovely “green velvet.” Spread some icing over your cooled donuts. I used my finger, whatever works for you.
Happiness 🙂
Double happiness.
Such a fun baked donut!

How fun are these?! What a fabulous treat!
Could this also be made as a cake?
Just finished baking mine. I was inspired by the beautiful, cheery photos. I couldn’t get 12 donuts but still worked out just great. Hoping to freeze them. The only thing I would do different next time would be to use Jello brand pudding mix and not the no name brand I grabbed at the grocery store. I should have known better…tsk tsk! My bad. Of course now I have to try these with Lemon Jello pudding mix.
Thanks for the post and pretty pics!

These are just too cute, and I LOVE that they match your stand mixer! But seriously, I’m down to eat any kind of donut that has buttermilk in it. YUM. The design of the blog is just wonderful too, btw!
Thanks so much Eva!!
These are awesome! I reallyyyy have to buy a donut pan but may end up making them too much!
I would love to sink my teeth into it! Looks so fun and festive, Jenny 🙂

These are seriously too fun – and I’m loving the new pages!
Ooooooo, these are so fun ~ I adore sprinkles!

Happiness indeed – my day totally brightened when I saw these beautiful pictures!
So cute! I especially love the sprinkles 😉
Cuteness!!! I bet the pudding in these makes them INcredible!
Love the vanilla pudding in these! And sprinkles make everything better!
ANd love the new homepage!
These are too cute, Jenny! You can’t go wrong with donuts and sprinkles on a Friday!
Yay for green:)
This has officially convinced me to buy a donut pan! I try to avoid cramming my kitchen with too many tools and appliances, but I know that the pan would get used a lot. Donuts are definitely one of my top 5 favorite foods!
By the way, I also really love your chit chat page. Great idea!
Perfect timing for me Jenny, I just bought can of Pillsbury Key Lime Frosing and I was trying to figure out what to put it on. I hardly ever buy frosting, homemade is better and easy to make but anything Key Lime goes in my cart. I think if I thin it down a bit with some milk it will be perfect!
These are so cute! Green donuts and green mixer! Love that!I am so keen to make these, seeing they have whole packet of instant pudding in them! Does that help with the texture?
How seriously yummy are these?? 🙂 And I LOVE your new site makeover!! Yay!
Your donuts look delish! Ive been wanting to dust off my donut pan for awhile and had thought about making something for St Paddy’s, too! I keep having cake-fails with mint/chocolate this week. I have so much extra cake that tastes great but not pretty enough to photograph. Lol So I’m about to do mint/choc donuts. Can’t go wrong! 🙂 It was great seeing you and you’re looking fabulous!
