Description
These Baked Raspberry Donuts are a soft, flavorful treat made with pantry staples and fresh raspberries. Light and fluffy, with a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked, not fried, for a healthier option for brunches, snacks, or holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)
2 tbsp melted butter
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
(Optional glaze):
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
(Optional) lemon zest or melted white chocolate
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and melted butter.
Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
Carefully fold in the raspberries with a spatula.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity 2/3 full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
(Optional) Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled donuts.
Notes
For gluten-free: use gluten-free flour.
For dairy-free: substitute milk and butter with plant-based options.
Do not overmix the batter—this keeps the donuts light and fluffy.
You may use freeze-dried raspberries for a bolder flavor.
A muffin tin can be used if no donut pan is available.
