Easter Breakfast Donuts

Make a fun Easter Breakfast for the kiddos before their Easter egg hunt begins.  These Baked Donuts are the perfect treat to start the festivities.

I have been getting a lot of use out of my donut pan lately.  So when I started to brainstorm Easter recipe ideas, a decorated baked donut seemed perfect.

A lightly sweetened baked chocolate donut.  Topped with extra sweet shredded coconut “grass”.  And most importantly, the candy eggs hidden in the grass.

This recipe does produce a mild chocolate flavored donut.  I wanted the donut to be more of a vessel for the sugary toppings.  If you prefer a sweet and chocolaty donut base, use this Baked Nutella Donut Recipe instead.

I love the excitement on Easter morning.  The kids wake up early to see what little goodies have been left for them in a bright cheerful basket.

Then the chaos begins outside.  The kids running around in circles, squealing each time they discover a colored egg hiding in the bushes.

And these Easter Donuts will be the perfect addition to the silliness and fun.

Just looking at them makes me smile.  The kiddos will be smiling too!
