Baked Donuts
Ingredients
For The Donuts
- ¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ¼ cup (60 g) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (260 g) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (83 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (240 g) buttermilk
For The Glaze
- 2 cups (240 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Make The Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray three 6-cavity donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the butter, oil, and sugar together until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Stir with a whisk to combine.
- Stir half the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, followed by the buttermilk, then the remaining flour. Stir just until combined after each addition. The batter will be thick.
- Transfer the batter into a disposable piping bag or zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity ⅔ to ¾ full.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until donuts spring back when pressed lightly with your fingertip. Set the donuts on a wire rack while you make the glaze.
Make The Glaze
- In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla. Stir until smooth, adding more milk if needed.
- While they are still warm, dip the donuts into the glaze and set them on a wire rack placed over parchment paper. Enjoy the donuts warm or allow them to cool. The glaze will set as they cool.
