I’m a fan of the shortcut, especially for breakfasts during the week when I can see we are all getting bored of milk and cereal. This quick switch-up requires a little bit of prep and bakes in no time at all. And the bonus is that these citrus beauties can absolutely be made ahead of time. Store the donuts in the fridge or the counter. Breakfast switch-up done. My secret ingredient? Pancake mix.
