Homemade Jelly Filled Donut Cupcakes
A tasty treat combination of a Jelly Filled Donut in a cupcake. Each cupcake is homemade and filled with your favorite jelly. Sure to please any sweet donut craving!
I admit, I have a big addiction to donuts! I love any kind of donut, especially the jelly filled ones.
When my daughter was in high school, I would always treat her to donuts on Saturday morning for working so hard during the week. She had to be at school at 6:30 every morning for practice, since she was on the drill team. Which meant getting up at 5:00am every morning.
Ohmigod, do you know how long it takes a teenage girl to get ready?!
Anyway, it was the one time I didn’t mind her devouring a bunch of sugar. (and me included!)
Especially the jelly filled ones!
What’s not to love about these donuts?
They are especially delicious because they are homemade then filled with your favorite jelly.
You can even get creative and make your own jelly. I will envy you.
I haven’t made homemade jelly yet, but it’s on my bucket list.
Enjoy!
