donut donuts pink lemonade recipe

Pink Lemonade Sprinkled Donuts

Pink Lemonade Sprinkled Donuts

A few months ago I posted a great seasonal recipe for donuts on my column over at Work It, Mom. They were made with a yellow boxed cake mix and melted caramel apple cake frosting. Instead of following the instructions on the packaging, I made a few small changes that resulted in light and airy donuts that are both tasty and delicious. Rather than frying dough, these are baked and you can customize with whatever flavors you want!

After the holidays I did it again, but this time with a Pink Lemonade boxed mix I’d picked up a while ago. Instead of using cake frosting, I decided to use the same icing that I use on my super popular 7-Up cake, minus the lemon extract.
The ingredients are a tad different from the one I posted in my article, since it’s a pink cake we use the egg whites rather than the whole egg to really bring out the pink color.

The results were so delicious! These donuts tasted like pink lemonade with a bit of vanilla icing and fun sprinkles. These would be great for a little Valentine’s Day treat, or even to serve on Easter!

Ingredients for Pink Lemonade Sprinkled Donuts :

  • 1 box Pillsbury Pink Lemonade Cake Mix
  • 1 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
  • 5 egg whites

Ingredients for Icing:

  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
Directions: 
Pink Lemonade Sprinkled Donuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cake mix, milk, butter and egg whites and mix as you would normally.
Spray your donut pan liberally with baking spray.

Fill each opening with 2 heaping tablespoons of batter, then spread evenly.
Bake for 19-23 minutes, using a toothpick to measure if it’s done.

While donuts are baking combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
Let donuts cool for a few minutes, then spread icing over each donut, following with sprinkles or toppings.

    Thank you, thank you! I haven’t made donuts yet for my children. And they LOVE donuts. I can’t wait to try these. Pinned It!

    These look absolutely delicious! I so admire people that are able to create scrumptious treats in the kitchen. I saw your link the SITS facebook post and I came to visit. So glad I did!

    I would never think to use 7-Up for icing and like that these are baked, not fried. You got my wheels turning. Wondering how I can adapt for my food-allergic son.

    I can’t find donut pans—can I use muffin pans?

    • Mama Harris says

      January 17, 2014 at 6:17 pm

      These would work just fine as muffins as well!

      If you are interested in the donut pan, you can purchase the one I used through Amazon. I’ve edited the post so you can easily find it. 🙂

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

This time of year I love warm, comforting recipes that are super easy and delish. This ridiculously easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a one pot meal, ready in under 30 minutes and uses already prepared rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor (and ease)! With a tasty blend of flavors and textures, it’s like a bowl full of comfort.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
