Unicorn Mini Donuts
Donuts. Doughnuts. No matter how you spell the word (I use donuts), those circular treats with the hole in the middle make many people smile. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a freshly baked donut. This recipe lets you make a batch of really colorful mini donuts. the recipe is simple to follow and doesn’t require any extra special ingredients, which is a good thing because they’re going to disappear quickly and you’ll be getting requests for more. Here’s the instructions on how to make them.

- stand mixer
- 4 bowls

Take a small spoon and scoop some of each color into the bottom of the donut maker.
