Easy Spiderweb Donuts Recipe

These spiderweb donuts are fluffy and sweet, featuring a classic donut recipe that is glazed and decorated with chocolate icing to create a fun spiderweb effect. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 donuts.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
1/4 cup chocolate icing (for spiderweb decoration)
Candy spiders for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze.
Decorate: Use the chocolate icing to create spiderweb designs on top of the glazed donuts. Optionally, place candy spiders on the webs for added decoration.
Serve: Enjoy your spooky spiderweb donuts as a fun Halloween treat!
