Description

Baked Raspberry Donuts are the perfect combination of fruity sweetness and soft, fluffy texture. These delightful treats are baked, not fried, making them a healthier alternative to classic donuts without sacrificing flavor. Fresh raspberries are folded into a tender batter, creating bursts of berry goodness in every bite. Finished with a simple raspberry glaze, these donuts are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

For the Raspberry Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons raspberry puree (blended fresh raspberries, strained)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinning)

Instructions

Prepare the Donut Batter:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold the raspberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed but not crushed.

Fill the Donut Pan:

  1. Pipe or Spoon Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill the donut cavities about ¾ full.
  2. Bake the Donuts: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool Completely: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Raspberry Glaze:

  1. Blend and Strain Raspberries: Blend the raspberries and strain them through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  2. Mix the Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, raspberry puree, lemon juice, and milk if needed for thinning. The glaze should be smooth but thick enough to coat the donuts.

Glaze the Donuts:

  1. Dip the Donuts: Once the donuts are fully cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack.
  2. Set the Glaze: Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
