Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220℃) and grease your donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Crush the Fruity Pebbles cereal into a coarse crumb and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, melted coconut oil, egg, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Mix in the all-purpose flour, crushed Fruity Pebbles, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
  5. Fill each mold of the donut pan about ¾ full with the batter.
  6. Bake for 7-9 minutes until light golden, and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the icing by whisking together powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond milk, and optional lemon extract.
  9. Once cool, dip the tops of the donuts into the icing and sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles on top.
