Do you have a favorite Winnie the Pooh character? With so many adorable qualities, it’s hard not to fall in love with the pals from the Hundred Acre Wood. The thoughtful Pooh Bear or the gloomy Eeyore are both contenders for favorites.
But the bouncy exuberance of Tigger is irresistible. The spring in his tail as he bounds to and fro is matched by his cheerful “Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-oo-oo-oo!” All of our favorite characters are back in Disney’s Christopher Robin.
This featurette video shows the legacy of the beloved A.A. Milne characters, back in the full-length film hitting theaters August 3, 2018.
Baked doughnuts (or donuts as we are going to pretend they’re spelled) are as simple to make as cakes or cookies. Not a fan of frying at home, I opt for a simpler recipe that my family adores. The orange icing and dark chocolate strips hint at Tigger’s tail. They’d also be perfect for Halloween. Bonus points if your family plans on dressing up as Winnie the Pooh characters for Halloween this year.
Tigger Donuts
Ingredients :
Cake Ingredients
- 1 C flour
- 1/2 C sugar
- 1/4 C cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda

How to Make Tigger Donuts:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and baking soda.
In a small bowl, beat together the vanilla, egg, sour cream, milk, and oil.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
Spoon in a greased donut pan like this option.
Bake for 8 minutes or until the tops spring back when you touch them.
Let the donuts cool in the pan before glazing.
Orange icing directions:
Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and a few drops of orange gel food coloring until smooth.
Dunk the donuts in the glaze to fully coat and place on a wire rack to set, about 5 minutes to completely dry.
Using a microwave safe bowl, melt half of the Ghirardelli melting chocolate until smooth.
Pour the chocolate into a piping bag and cut off the tip.
Drizzle the chocolate over the doughnuts to give it stripes.
Let dry completely before enjoying!

Winnie the Pooh and donuts are two of my favorite things! These are super fun!
I really love Tigger. He is my favorite Winnie the Pooh character. The donuts are super cute.
Oh these look so adorable and that movie looks really cute too. I need to see the movie when it comes out. That freak shake that you have here too looks OUTRAGEOUS!!! Almost worth the huge sugar rush just to try it.
Tiggerific treats you have here. Tigger reminds me when my kids are little. Now, can I have a donut please? Lol.
Thanks for your wonderful , fun ideas. My grandchildren think I’m so talented when I have these special treats for them. Keep the ideas coming
My youngest loves Tigger. He sleeps with him nightly since he was about a year old. His nana gave it to him. I can’t wait to watch the Christopher Robin movie with him. I know that he will get a kick out of it because Tigger is in it.
Love the idea of Tiger donuts! I can’t wait to try them! Can’t wait to watch the movie!
