Lucky Charms Cereal Donuts

Cereal donuts are all the rage these days. I wanted to give them a try for a fun St. Patrick's Day treat so I decided to make easy Lucky Charms donuts!

What I love most about this recipe is that it's easy and fast to make. I'm a big fan of easy desserts and I tend to avoid any recipe that requires too many ingredients or time. For these donuts, I start with store-bought cake mix so I cut out a lot of ingredients, time, and mess!

These might be luckiest donuts you ever did see! Check out these cereal donuts with Lucky Charms!

Here's a visual run down of how to make these cereal donuts.

The trick to easy cleanup is spraying the donut pan with PAM Cooking Spray.

Mix up the Funfetti cake mix and fill the donut pan so each donut ring is about ⅔ full. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Once baked, remove to a wire rack for cooling. As the donuts cool, make the icing. Whisk about 1 cup of powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of milk to start. Add more milk a tablespoon at a time until your icing is the desired consistency. Mix in green food coloring (a couple drops will give you light green icing, for a darker green add a few more drops).

And for the topping . . . Lucky Charms are the perfect choice for these themed cereal donuts.

Dip tops of donuts into the green icing and then top with a small handful of marshmallow cereal. (Be sure there is a healthy portion of marshmallows!)

I know my kiddos are going to love these on St. Patrick’s Day! A marshmallow cereal donut with a glass of milk? What could be better? I plan to spend the morning sitting with them and chatting about our upcoming day. I bet it’s going to be a lucky one all around!

This entire recipe took me about 20 minutes (and that included cleanup)!
