🕸️ Ingredients You’ll Need
🧁 For the Donuts:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate donuts)
🍬 For the Glaze & Decoration:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- Food coloring (orange, purple, green, black, white)
- Candy eyes, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips
👻 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan lightly with butter or spray.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In one bowl, mix dry ingredients — flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another, whisk milk, egg, butter, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry until smooth.
For chocolate donuts, stir in cocoa powder.
Step 3: Fill and Bake
Spoon batter into the donut pan until each mold is ¾ full. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely before glazing.
Step 4: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Divide into bowls and add your Halloween colors — orange, purple, green, and black.
Step 5: Decorate Your Donuts!
Dip each donut into colored glaze. Add candy eyes, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles before the glaze sets. Create spiderwebs, ghosts, pumpkins, or monsters for fun designs.

🧡 Tips for Perfect Donuts
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant Halloween hues.
