Happy National Cereal Day!

I don’t have it often, but I L.O.V.E cereal. Liiiike I don’t have it often, beCAUSE I love it so much.

I could literally down an entire box in one sitting.

Soooooo . . .

to celebrate?

Milk and Cereal Donuts, of course!

What else? 🙂

These Milk and Cereal Donuts are surprisingly easy to make and super fun to eat.

Pass the milk and cereal {donuts}, please!

Before we get into the recipe today, did you guys watch the video above?👆

Trevor and Ihad a little too much fun making it. 😉

If you watched it then you know we’re working withLACTAID® today…

and we’re super pumped.

Who better to partner with to celebrateNational Cereal Day?

No more #DairyEnvy for those of you with dairy sensitivities, becauseLACTAID®has worked for over 30 years to introduce high-quality, lactose-free products that…

Guess what?!

ACTUALLY TASTE GOOD!

Their products are real dairy, just without the lactose, andI promise you, you’llnever even miss it. 😉

So, today, I usedLACTAID® Whole Milk in thisMilk and Cereal Donuts Recipe, so that even those with dairysensitivities canenjoy National Cereal Day!

It all starts by making “cereal milk” – soak your choice of cereal and milk for 30 minutes.

Once you have your cereal milk ready, you’ll combine that with cake mix (yellow or chocolate – yes, please!), an egg, oil, and more cereal.

That’s it for the base, you guys.

How easy is that?!

Now that the batter is ready, you have two options:

Mini Donut Holes
Donuts

I did both. 🙂

Either scoop batterinto a mini muffin tin or fill a plastic baggie with the batter and pipeit into a donut pan(I’d recommend watching the video above 👆to see exactly how we did this).

Then bake ’em up, and dunk them into a glaze (vanilla or chocolate – again, yes, please!) – powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, cocoa powder (if making the chocolate glaze), and a pinch of salt – and top with more cereal!

Have fun with thisMilk and Cereal Donuts Recipeby trying it with different cake mixes and cereals… whatever you choose, they WILL be delicious…

and devoured. 😉
