Baked Raspberry Donuts are a light, fluffy treat with a tangy raspberry glaze. Made with fresh raspberries in the batter and glaze, these baked donuts are a healthier alternative to fried versions and perfect for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

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)

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)

For the Raspberry Glaze:

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

12 tablespoons milk (optional)

Optional Garnishes:

Fresh raspberries

White chocolate drizzle

Sprinkles

Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Donut Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, granulated sugar, and brown sugar). In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients (eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract). Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in chopped raspberries.
  2. Fill the Donut Pan: Transfer the batter to a piping bag or large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake the Donuts: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Prepare the Raspberry Glaze: In a saucepan, cook raspberries over medium heat until soft. Strain to remove seeds and whisk the raspberry juice with powdered sugar. Add milk to adjust the glaze’s consistency.
  5. Glaze the Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set. Optional: Garnish with fresh raspberries, white chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes.

Variations: Vegan: Use plant-based milk, egg replacer, and dairy-free butter. You can also experiment with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries in place of raspberries.
