Get ready for some holiday fun with these cute and homemade Rudolph chocolate donuts!

We love baked donuts at our house. Once you have the donut molds, they're easy to mix up and bake. They're perfect for any day of the week and you can make so many different flavors of donuts, icing and top them off with some sprinkles.

These Rudolph donuts are great for Christmas morning, Christmas parties or an afternoon snack around Christmas time. The donuts are soft and the sweet icing tops them off perfectly. 

This recipe is perfect for getting the kiddos in the kitchen too. They can help mix the donut batter and decorate them once they're iced. You can also pick out your favorite Rudolph books, read them together and have a Rudolph snack.

  • Donuts:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Icing:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 24 googly eye sprinkles
  • 12 pretzels, broke in half
  • 12 red peanut m&m's

Instructions

  5. Spoon batter into silicone donut molds and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
