So I am sure you have seen the pictures of cronuts/doughnuts/shakes studded with Froot Loops all over social media. I have, and was amazed at the things you can do with a packet of breakfast cereal!
I was inspired to have a go at making my own and although there is no way you can use the word healthy and Froot Loops in the same sentence these little beauties have the upper hand in that they are baked, not deep-fried. And they are teeny tiny.
Misses 7 and 9 loved them, the Hungry Dad, not so much. They are uber sweet but sometimes you need a sugar hit to get through the day.
You will need a mini baking pan for this recipe, available from speciality kitchenware stores.
GATHER:
1 cup Froot Loops
1 1/3 cups self raising flour
110 grams melted butter
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup milk
¼ cup thick Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons caster sugar
LET’S GET TO IT:
Preheat oven to 180C and spray a mini doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Take a large handful of Froot Loops and crush until a fine powder. You can do this in a plastic bag and banging with a rolling pin or in a mortar and pestle. Set aside
Put dry ingredients (except crushed Froot Loops) into the bowl and stir to combine.
Combine the wet ingredinets in a large jug, give it a brief stir, then pour into the bowl with other ingredinets.
Use a silver spoon to stor until just combined, add in crushed Froot Loops, give another brief stir until just mixed.
Place mixture into a piping bag and pipe into pan until each mould is 2/3 full.
Bake for around 7-9 mintes, then flip onto wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile make glaze: Sift 1 cup icing sugar into a bowl then mix with 1 tablespoon milk until it is a thick pouring consistency. You may need a little more or less milk. Dunk doughnuts into glaze then quickly press on extra Froot Loops.
Misses 7 and 9 recently prepared a high tea for us and the Froot Loop doughnuts were included on the platter 😉
the hungry mum 
These are so cute!
Thanks! They were very popular.
Am I living under a rock? I haven’t seen fruit loop studded anything!!! I can see why it’s all the rage though, it looks so fab!
Maybe I am just obsessed with all the sugar-lovin’ Insta folk! Seems everyone’s eating enough cronuts w/ Fruit Loops to give an elephant diabetes 😉
OH Mmmmmmm G! I dont think fruit loops should be a breakfast food, but when you throw them at a donut, totes legit eating. You are a baking superstar. Loves it! 🙂
Awww, Anna 😉 This is so out of bounds for your elimination diet – thanks for checking it out. I actually can’t believe Froot Loops are still available – who would eat this for breaky?!
These are very pretty doughnuts. The fruit loops have such gorgeous floral colours. I think these would be perfect at a children’s birthday party but a high tea would be nice too xx
They are very child friendly! I gave some to Misses 7 and 9’s BFFs and they were in raptures. Or maybe it was a sugar high, can’t be sure 😉
hehehe fruit loops and donuts… makes me smile just hearing it let alone seeing them! They look like a circle of fun!
Circle of Fun – love it!! Thanks Amanda. ps – are you on Google+? Trying to follow more peeps/ be followed!
These are so cute! What a great idea for parties!
Thank you – I dare say Misses 7 and 9 will be requesting them again!
These are so cute! I bet my son would LOVE them. =)
Ta! Am sure any kid of any age would go ga ga over them x
As someone who just recently confessed to having a wee-bit of an obsession with donuts, I am totally loving these Froot Loops Baked Doughnuts. Everything is better mini (you can eat more) and they are just too cute. Thanks for sharing!
I agree – mini simply means more in my lingo! Ta for stopping by – and for being totally Team Doughnuts x
Oooh I just made Fruit Loop donuts recently too – talk about delicious! I love Fruit Loops!
OMGOSH! Yours are just perfect! So gorge. I’m far too scared to deepfry anything!
These are too cute and too fun! I’d love to have one right now 🙂
Thanks Pamela 😉 They were soooo good but soooo sweet.
These are so adorable!! Love the fun colors of the froot loops.
Cheers Rachel – can’t believe that Froot Loops are actually sold as breakfast food: so much sugar!!
I saw somoeone using frootloops and “elf donuts” as an xmas idea this week. Too sweet for me!
Me too! I’m not a big sweets eater – I had a bite and that was more than enough!
I so love the fact that your daughters prepared a High Tea! Fabulous work Miss 7 and Miss 9! 🙂
Yep, I trained them well 🙂
Oh these are just too cute! I agree, sometimes a little bit of sweetness is what you need to get through the day! Thanks for linking up with us for Fabulous Foodie Fridays, have a great weekend 🙂

I guess I missed the the fruit loop donut craze, because this is the first time I’ve seen it. I can understand the appeal though, they look so bright and cheery! Love the high tea platter 🙂
I laughed when I arrive at this post and saw the opening photo. I love the look of these and wish they were around when I was 7 or 9 years old.

LMBO!! Love this photo!!!! Good one!!
