These Chocolate Frosted with Sprinkles Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts are a super simple breakfast recipe that will have you as the “cool parent” for the day!
This is real life with 3 kids. This one has definitely been kid tested! Do you see what I’m talking about?!?
Look I’m just gonna be honest {that’s all I ever am if you know me in real life!} here for a minute. There are two things that make me a super cool Mom. 1. Singing along with Beanies to songs she thought I didn’t know. 2. Surprising my kiddos with special treats like these Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts!
Since this recovery from foot surgery has taken me A LOT longer that expected I’ve been trying to make it up to the kids in other ways….like surprising them with special treats when I can. One night Jas took the kids downstairs to play {they can do whatever down there from kick balls to sew and I can’t go down right now so it’s fun for them!} and I took about 20 minutes and whipped up these bad boys.
When they came up stairs they were scrounging the kitchen for the cake they thought I had made, but, literally jumped up and down when they saw these donuts resting! Now keep this tip in your back pocket Momma’s….if your children are hard to wake in the morning these Baked Chocolate Chip Donuts may just do the trick 😉 They knew they had to wait until morning to enjoy the chocolatey goodness and they were super easy to wake the next morning 😉
