The new Christopher Robin movie comes out today and I can’t wait to see it this weekend! I’ve previously mentioned my love of Winnie the Pooh and his Hundred Acre friends and I’m excited to see what how this new story brings them to life. To get ready for the premiere, I made these super cute donuts inspired by Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and (my favorite) Eeyore.
These baked donuts are easy to make and melt in your mouth. To make the round donut shape, I used a silicone donut mold but any kind of donut pan is fine. If you do use a silicone mold for this recipe, make sure to put them on a baking sheet before baking. I hadn’t used a silicone mold for baking before and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy they were to use and how great the donuts looked when they came out!
To decorate my donuts, I made simple vanilla and chocolate glazes. I decided to use a different colored glaze foreach character, and so added a little gel food coloring to the vanilla glaze. For the Pooh and Piglet donuts, I added sprinkles right after they were glazed. For the Tigger donut, I added stripes with the chocolate glaze, and for the Eeyore donut, I added a small pink bow to represent his tail using the leftover pink glaze.
Whether you’re looking for a fun weekend breakfast or an anytime sweet snack, these are the perfect treat!
