These easy baked Christmas donuts taste like gingerbread and are so fun to make with the kids.
Baked Christmas donuts are so fun to make and a really great alternative to sugar cookies, if you’re looking for something different to bake. I am a little obsessed with this Kodiak mix! It’s packed with protein and the kids love it! All you need is the donut pan which is pretty inexpensive.
I love decorating these like Christmas cookies and getting the kids involved. You can even make wreaths or snowflakes like these below.
