Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Food coloring (red and black)
- Edible eyes
- Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing to keep the donuts fluffy.
- Fill the Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full to allow room to rise.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add food coloring to achieve a vibrant color—mix until you reach your desired shade.
- Decorate the Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the frosting or drizzle it on. Use edible eyes to create a vampire face and drizzle chocolate syrup to resemble blood.
Notes
Ensure donuts are completely cool before decorating to prevent frosting from sliding off. Feel free to customize with additional decorations.
