Follow this simple guide to create your very own Vampire Donuts:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a donut pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Fill the Pan: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each donut mold about halfway with the batter.
6. Add Filling: With a small spoon, add about a teaspoon of jam into the center of each filled donut mold. This will create that delicious “blood” filling.
7. Cover with Batter: Add a little more batter on top of the jam in each mold to seal it in.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the donut comes out clean.
9. Cool the Donuts: Once baked, remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate: Once cool, dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with edible red glitter, and place candy eyes on top to create the look of spooky vampire donuts.

These steps provide a clear path to crafting these amazing treats while ensuring that the fun remains in the kitchen!
