You know, everyone should have a really delicious homemade donut recipe, don’t you agree? I have to tell you, I’m so excited that I found this one! It’s one of the easiest ones that I have seen if you want a completely homemade donut.

You can make this slow cooker Bolognese for dinner and prepare the donuts while it’s cooking!

Like I said, everyone needs a great homemade donut recipe and this is definitely one that you’re going to want to add to your recipe collection. It’s homemade and it’s donuts – what else could you possibly need?

I actually made a batch of these to serve to my friends at brunch that I recently hosted. I added these homemade donuts to the menu with my classic chicken salad and the entire meal was a huge hit! Grab those ingredients and let’s make up a batch of delicious homemade donuts!
