Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (or oil)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan. If you don’t have a donut pan, you can use a muffin tin instead. -
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. -
Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. Mix well and pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined. -
Fold in the Raspberries:
Gently fold the raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them. -
Spoon the Batter into the Pan:
Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity halfway. For muffin tin use, fill each cup 2/3 full. -
Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Serve:
Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
Notes
- For fluffier donuts, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep donuts light and airy.
- Add chocolate chips or white chocolate chunks for a fun twist!
