Description

These Homemade Baked Vanilla Donuts are light, fluffy, and perfectly sweetened with a classic vanilla glaze. Baked instead of fried, they offer a healthier twist on a beloved treat, making them ideal for a delightful snack or festive celebration like Hanukkah.

Ingredients

Donut Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup cream
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • Pinch of salt

Vanilla Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 drops food coloring
  • 3-4 tbsp water
  • Sprinkles, for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 170°C (350°F) with the fan on to ensure even baking for the donuts.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all batter ingredients including flour, sugar, cream, oil, baking powder, egg, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Prepare Piping Bag: Transfer the batter into a piping bag; this helps fill the molds neatly.
  4. Grease Donut Mold: Lightly grease the donut mold to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
  5. Fill the Molds: Cut a small hole at the tip of the piping bag, then pipe the batter into each donut mold cavity filling no more than three-quarters to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the mold in the oven and bake for 9-10 minutes until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool Donuts: Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature to set their shape.
  8. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of water and add 2 drops of food coloring if desired, stirring until smooth.
  9. Glaze Donuts: Dip each cooled donut into the glaze to coat evenly.
  10. Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle your choice of sprinkles over the glazed donuts before the glaze sets.
  11. Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your freshly baked vanilla donuts, perfect for celebrations such as Hanukkah or as a delightful treat any time.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the donut molds to prevent spilling over during baking.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and texture.
  • The glazing step is optional but enhances both taste and appearance.
  • Allow donuts to cool completely before glazing to prevent melting the glaze.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
