Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredient mixture to the flour mixture and stir until batter is just combined. It should look like thick cake batter.
- Gently fold the rainbow sprinkles into your batter.
- Grease your donut pan with cooking spray (I use a Misto spray bottle [affiliate link] with vegetable oil instead of store-bought cooking spray - healthier and more environmentally friendly!)
- Spoon donut batter into a pastry bag with no piping tip (you could also use a plastic bag and snip off a corner with scissors).
- Pipe donut batter into donut pan, filling each cavity a little more than halfway full.
- Bake donuts at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned on top.
- Remove donuts from oven and let them cool in the pan for 5-6 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- When donuts are nearly cooled, make the glaze.
- Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa powder together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add melted butter and whisk it into the powdered sugar.
- Whisk vanilla extract and milk into powdered sugar mixture until smooth. The glaze should be thick and shiny.
- Dip the top of each donut into the glaze and return to the wire cooling rack (you may want to put a towel or plate under the wire rack to catch any drips of frosting). Top donuts with sprinkles while glaze is still wet.
- Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes or so, then serve and enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a donut tin with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, and baking powder together.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, butter, egg, and vanilla together.
- Pour the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until combined.
- Gently fold the sprinkles into the batter.
- Divide the batter between the wells of the donut pan, filling each one with about ⅓ cup of batter. For ease, transfer the batter to a Ziplock bag, cut the corner off, and pipe the batter into each donut well. (If your donut pan has 6 wells, bake the donuts in batches.)
- Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Transfer the donuts to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before glazing.
- While the donuts cool, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla together until smooth.
- Dip the donuts into the glaze and garnish with sprinkles.

FLUFFY CAKE DOUGHNUTS
This recipe is very quick and easy to make. I have a donut pan, which is like a muffin pan, but has donut shaped holes rather than muffin shaped holes. These donuts are baked not fried, so they don't have so many calories. I mix up either a powdered sugar glaze or a chocolate icing to top these with. They can also be rolled in cinnamon and white sugar, but it doesn't stick very well. My husband likes them just plain. For a chocolate glaze, simply stir 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips into the glaze mixture.

Tips:
- Be precise with measurements: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are crucial for successful doughnuts. Use a kitchen scale to weigh ingredients for accuracy.
- Activate the yeast properly: Active dry yeast needs to be activated in warm water with a bit of sugar before using. This helps the yeast to grow and become active, which is essential for a good rise in the doughnuts.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the doughnuts their chewy texture. Knead for at least 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise twice: The first rise allows the yeast to work and the dough to double in size. The second rise, after shaping the doughnuts, gives them a chance to rise again and become light and fluffy.
- Fry the doughnuts at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for frying doughnuts is between 350°F and 375°F. A lower temperature will result in greasy doughnuts, while a higher temperature will burn them.
- Coat the doughnuts in a tasty topping: While still warm, coat the doughnuts in a topping of your choice, such as powdered sugar, sprinkles, or a glaze, for added flavor and decoration.
Conclusion:
These baked confetti doughnuts are an easy and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a tender crumb and a sweet, festive flavor. With these detailed tips and the step-by-step recipe, you can easily make these doughnuts at home and enjoy them with your loved ones.
