Grinch Donuts
The Grinch is by far one of my favorite Christmas movies. Definitely in my top 5.
With that being said, we watch Jim Carey’s version of The Grinch every single year and to go along with the movie, we always create a fun new Grinch themed treat to enjoy while we watch the movie.
We’ve made everything from Grinch Ice Cream to Grinch Jello Shots (for mom and dad of course). And now we are adding Grinch Donuts into the mix.
So, if you enjoy Grinch desserts, this one is for you!

How to Make Grinch Donuts
In a large bowl, combine the Eggs, Butter, and Sugar, and mix until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, combine the Flour, and Baking Powder, and mix well.
Add the flour mixture to the Egg mixture, and stir.
Add the Coffee Creamer to the batter, and stir altogether, until well mixed. Batter will be a little lumpy, but that’s okay.
