Equipment

Regular Size Donut Pan

Ingredients

1 box Party Rainbow Cip Cake Mix 432 g (Betty Crocker)
1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt Oikos
3/4 cup water

Topping

5 oz. Vanilla Frosting store-bought (Betty Crocker) or homemade
3 Tbsp. rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

Generously spray a donut tray (or 2 or 3 depending on the size you have) with nonstick cooking spray and preheat te oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheith.
Add cake mix, Greek yogurt, and water in a large bowl, and mix on medium for 1-2 minutes with a hand mixer.
Pipe or spoon the batter into a greased donut tray and bake for about 15 minutes (when the sides start to pull away and have a little golden color, that is when they are done!).
Allow the donuts to rest in their tray on a wire cooling rack for 15 minutes. Remove the donuts and cool completely to room temperature on a wire cooling rack (about 30 minutes) before frosting.
Once the donuts are cooled, in a microwave-safe bowl melt frosting slightly (about 30 seconds).
Dip the donut upside down into the frosting and place it back on the wire rack, add any sprinkles, and allow the icing to harden.

Notes

All nutrition facts are an estimate and will change with any substitutions.

For best results, I suggest using a large piping bag to fill the donut cavity (image 2). A great trick is to fill a Ziploc bag with the batter, cut a hole at the corner, and use it as a large piping bag to add the batter to the pan.
