Today, I’m breaking out the kid inside of me.
And it’s all about Fruity Pebbles…my favorite cereal!
Yes, I am a grown adult who still loves to indulge in a sugary-filled breakfast every now and then. I will admit it. No shame here.
Truth be told, I love cereal, but I don’t eat it all that often. The hubster eats cheerios for breakfast several times a week, and when I do slurp down a bowl, it’s usually a few times a month.
Which means that it’s totally acceptable for me to indulge in this sweet-tasting, calorie-loaded cereal. Right? Sometimes, I’m more of an adult and will buy healthier cereals. But every now and then, a box of Fruity Pebbles (or Froot Loops and Trix) makes it way into my kitchen.
And that’s why I’m so excited to share these Baked Fruity Pebble Donuts with you! Now, I know these donuts aren’t new. You’ve probably seen a version or two floating around Pinterest world. But for me, these are my first time baking (and eating) them. And since I love sharing my favorite recipes, I thought these would be a perfect treat.

If you love Fruity Pebbles like I do, then these baked donuts were made for you. The cereal is baked right into the batter and then sprinkled on top. It’s sweet, delicious, and contains a satisfying crunch.
And like most of my recipes, these Baked Fruity Pebble Donuts take just minutes to whip up. From start to finish, you can have these cuties ready to be devoured in less than a half hour. Sounds pretty good, right?
The best part (besides eating these) is frosting the donuts. The glaze consists of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Once the donuts are dipped into the glaze, it’s time to get crazy with the Fruity Pebble topping. The cereal makes these donuts eye-appealing because of the bright colors. Almost too pretty to eat…almost!
So the next time you’re in the mood for a fun and delicious treat, whip up a batch of these Baked Fruity Pebble Donuts! It will bring out the kid inside of you and become a new breakfast or dessert favorite.
