Insanely Easy Homemade Donut Recipes

Do you like donuts? Scratch that—dumb question. Everyone loves those soft, sugary, sweet-glazed, golden rings of goodness.

With gourmet donut shops popping up all over the place, I’d go broke if I became a regular patron (not to mention what would happen to my tummy and butt), but I do love the occasional donut indulgence, and I love the idea of impressing my guests with a sinfully delicious homemade donut. And know what I love even more than that? Insanely easy recipes. Stuff that makes my friends say wow, when I barely had to lift a finger. That’s why I rounded up this awesome list of insanely easy homemade donut recipes, from two ingredient biscuit donuts to lemon blueberry donuts with creamy coconut frosting. In honor of National Donut Day, dig in!
