Waffle donuts are so easy to make!! Plus its controlled on the number that is made by how many are in the can 🙂 No over making dough to make to many. Plus since they aren’t fried they are slightly healthy (again its bread) but also the clean up is a breeze because there is no oil to clean up!! We found the recipe on the Pillsbury website -> here. You can also make donuts with oil out of biscuit dough if you want (see how -> here) as well. My kids loved these and all of them were gone that night (Thankfully I had one staring at me from the fridge!)

Waffle Donuts Ingredients:

1 can Pillsbury Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated original or buttermilk biscuits
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons unsweetened baking cocoa, if desired
Sprinkles for decorating

Waffle Donuts Directions:

Start by spraying your waffle maker with cooking spray (I use my Homemade Non Stick Spray)
Take biscuits out and separate them.
Put 1 biscuit in the center of waffle maker and close the lid
Cook the biscuit for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining biscuits.
While making the biscuits mix together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla with whisk until combined. If you want a chocolate glaze add the baking cocoa; stir until combined.
Dip at least one side of each donuts into the glaze. And place on a baking rack to allow the icing to drip off. I did both sides for a sweeter doughnut. Top with sprinkles if you want.
