Baked Raspberry Donuts


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 42 minutes
  • Yield: 12 donuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, for classic donut flavor)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (chopped into small pieces)

For the Raspberry Glaze:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk (optional, to thin the glaze if needed)

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh raspberries
  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Sprinkles
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Donut Batter:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with nonstick spray or butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg (if using), granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
  • Fold in the chopped raspberries gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

2. Fill the Donut Pan:

  • Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. This makes it easier to fill the donut cavities evenly.
  • Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Avoid overfilling to prevent the donuts from losing their shape while baking.

3. Bake the Donuts:

  • Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.

4. Prepare the Raspberry Glaze:

  • Place the raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
  • Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, pressing with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the seeds.
  • Whisk the raspberry juice with the powdered sugar until smooth and thick. If the glaze is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to thin it to your desired consistency.

5. Glaze the Donuts:

  • Dip the tops of each cooled donut into the raspberry glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries, a drizzle of white chocolate, or sprinkles while the glaze is still wet. Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve the donuts immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Enjoy with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk!
