Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Raspberry Components
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup raspberry jam
- 2 tbsp raspberry extract
Topping/Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tbsp milk
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and thoroughly grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until light and fluffy, then incorporate milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to avoid overmixing and maintain a smooth batter consistency.
- Delicately crush half of the fresh raspberries and fold them into the batter, along with raspberry jam and raspberry extract.
- Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and donuts are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk until smooth and slightly runny.
- Once donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the glaze and sprinkle with remaining fresh raspberries as a decorative garnish.
- Allow glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving, ensuring a beautiful and delicious finish.
Notes
- Gentle mixing prevents tough donuts, ensuring a light and fluffy texture by avoiding overmixing the batter.
- Freeze fresh raspberries before adding to batter to prevent color bleeding and maintain distinct fruit pockets.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter incorporation and more consistent baking results.
- Swap dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a vegan-friendly version, maintaining the same delicate donut consistency.
