These are the cutest Winnie the Pooh Donuts! Almost too cute to eat, almost. Another fun donut recipe to share my excitement for the upcoming Christopher Robin movie. These Winnie the Pooh donuts are easy to make and kids love them. Great for a Winnie the Pooh themed party, you can pair them with some Pooh Snack Mix and Tigger Tails.
Winnie the Pooh is more than just a silly old bear in the movie. He becomes the voice of reason when Christopher Robin needs him the most. Take a look at this extended sneak peek of the movie. Christopher Robin is in theaters August 3rd.

The key to making these fun donuts is the bear shape. By placing a candy melt into the donut, you achieve the bear-shaped ears. Then it all comes down to decorating. 
You dip one side of the donut, the one with the ears, to be Pooh’s head. Then you dip the bottom half in red to be his iconic red shirt. 
A little bit of black to make his face and you have an adorable Winnie the Pooh Donut!
Winnie The Pooh Donuts
Ingredients
Donut ingredients
- 1 Cup flour
- 1/3 Cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 Cup + 1 1/2 tbsp whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Vanilla glaze
- 1 Cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 4 Tbsp whole milk
- Yellow and Red gel food coloring
- Black cookie icing
- 1 bag of yellow candy melting wafers you will need 30 candy wafers in total
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degree's and spray a donut baking pan with nonstick baking spray
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter, and vanilla extract
- Combine the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and mix until well combined
- Spoon batter into donut pan and bake for 10 minutes
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 6 minutes before removing and placing the donuts onto a wire rack
- Repeat steps until all batter is used
Vanilla glaze Directions:
- In a large bowl combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, salt and milk and mix until combined
- If the glaze has powdered sugar clumps still, mix in another tbsp of milk
- Split the glaze into two bowls
- In one bowl add in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring and mix until combined. You will want to try and get the yellow glaze to match the yellow candy melts
- In the second bowl, mix in a few drops of the red gel coloring. Add in a few more drops of red until you get Pooh's bright red shade. Cover and set aside
Decorating Directions :
- Make sure that your wire rack is on top of a larger cookie sheet so that when you pour the yellow glaze onto the donuts, the glaze will not drip onto the counter
- Grab a cooled donut and cut a slit into the side of the doughnut for pooh's ears
- Lightly push in a candy melt into the slit
- Repeat step with the other side of the donut and remaining donuts
- Place the donuts onto the wire rack and pour the yellow glaze onto the donuts
- Allow glaze to dry for an hour before adding the red glaze
- Once the yellow glaze has slightly hardened, take a large knife, spatula or anything that is flat and carefully place in the middle of the donut
- Do not touch the donut because this is going to act as a shield for when you pour the red glaze on
- Carefully pour the red glaze onto the lower half of Pooh's donut
- Using the black icing, pipe on his face details
- Allow to dry for an hour before enjoying!
