Grow Your Own Magic Doughnuts - Donuts

Recipe #189254 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

Really! You CAN grow donuts!! This recipe was sent home by my son's K teacher. All my kids loved it! *The Kindy kids colored a picture of doughnuts growing on a tree - the teacher then made a little seed package by stapling the coloring to another paper; she then put some cereal inside (aka Doughnut Seeds) - so cute!

SERVES 6 , 1 dozen (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 12 pieces Fruit Loops cereal or other cold cereal
  • 1 tablespoon water or milk
  • candy sprinkles (optional)
  • 12 fresh doughnuts

Directions

  1. 1
    Before bed, have the kids place the cereal on a cookie sheet or tray; then sprinkle with milk or water.
  2. 2
    Place the tray in a cold oven overnight; tell the kids that if they stay in bed and sleep well then the cereal will magically grow into donuts by morning ;) .
  3. 3
    Very early the next morning drive to the bakery and buy a dozen freshly baked donuts; this is the price you pay for having kids that stayed in bed all night.
  4. 4
    Replace the cold cereal with the donuts and carefully destroy and hide the box or bag!
  5. 5
    Wait for your little darlings to wake up and discover the magic donuts in the oven.
  6. 6
    By the way, chocolate milk or sprinkles makes chocolate iced donuts; water makes glazed; regular milk makes cream filled; and colored sprinkles makes - colored sprinkle covered donuts!

    5 stars for sure, but in reality it deserves 1,000,000 stars if for nothing more than the delight it will bring Christmas morning to children and kids at heart!
