Ingredients

Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

For the Glaze:

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh raspberries
  • 1–2 teaspoons milk (to adjust consistency)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Prepare the Donut Batter:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or lightly butter it.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together until smooth and creamy. Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense donuts.
  5. Fold in Raspberries: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them up too much.

Fill the Donut Pan:

  1. Fill the Pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full. You can use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off for a cleaner process.
  2. Bake the Donuts: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze:

  1. Make the Raspberry Glaze: In a small bowl, mash the fresh raspberries with a fork or a small food processor until they are pureed. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
  2. Combine with Sugar: In another small bowl, whisk together the raspberry puree, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until the glaze reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.

Glaze the Donuts:

  1. Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts have cooled, dip the top of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack to set for about 10 minutes.
