💛 Recipe FAQs

How do I store leftover donuts?

The donuts are the best when they are eaten fresh, but will last 1-2 days. Keep them at room temperature and in a sealed container. Make sure to keep them away from heat, steam from the dishwasher, or sunlight. Otherwise, they go bad pretty quickly.

What do I do about lumpy muffin mix?

The package of muffins I used had chocolate chips in them. I decided to run them through the blender for a couple of seconds to chop it up some. Otherwise, they tend to get stuck at the end of my pastry bag. If that doesn’t bother you, the chocolate chips are delicious and don’t cause any other problems.

💗 Pampered Chef Picks

When making this baked donut recipe, my Pampered Chef kitchen items came in so handy. First of all, I used the Decorating Bag Set. It makes putting the batter into the donut pan a breeze.

Then I used the Donut Pan, which I adore to no end! It makes the most adorable donuts, and it’s non-stick, so they slide right out.

Lastly, I used the Stackable Cooling Rack. I seriously use it for EVERYTHING! It was one of the very first Pampered Chef items I ever bought and have had for years. I kept it folded down for my photos because it’s just easier for me to get a good shot than when it’s taller.

I do not work with Pampered Chef and do not get any sort of compensation for my opinions. They are simply my opinions.

I have to confess I have a TON of sprinkles. Things just look even cuter when you have some adorable sprinkles on top.
