Actually, scoffing one raspberry glazed donut, whilst watching back to back episodes of Dr Jackson Avery, erm I totally mean Grey’s Anatomy, will definitely beat that. Now that might be an idea for next weekend……. Valentine’s Day dessert, donut day (if there isn’t one there should be), impress your date day, and me time moments (Grey’s Anatomy) all sorted. I got your back. Plus, can I say the gorgeous pinkish colour of the donut glaze, esp with the dried raspberry pieces sprinkled one, make them almost too pretty to eat. I did say almost………..
Baked Donuts
So these are baked donuts instead of the more traditional fried donuts Baked doughnuts are super easy to make. Like once you make them once, you get addicted to them. Best thing is that they are lighter on the calories as there is no frying involved
Glazed Donut Recipe Steps
Step 1. Mix together the dry ingredients aka flour, caster sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Step 2. In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients aka your raspberry juice, buttermilk, butter and egg. Step 3. Mix the dry and the wet ingredients together, spoon the batter into prepared donut cups and bake till done.
Raspberry Glaze
To make the Raspberry Glaze Simply mix together the icing sugar with 1 tbsp of raspberry juice at a time till you get the glaze consistency that you like.

Tips For Making Homemade Glazed Donuts
Use a silicon donut tray – it will make life much easier when you come to remove the donuts If using a metal tray, make sure you grease and flour your donut pan very well so that it is easier to remove them Fill the donuts tray only three-quarters full, so you leave room for the donuts to rise during baking. Use a piping bag to add the batter to the donut tray. I actually use a spoon and that is a little bit trickier. Don’t overcook the donuts, test them about a min before the recipe calls for and if you prefer them to cook a bit longer then, a couple of mins after you put them back into the oven. You can substitute other berries juices here, strawberries, blueberries etc according to your taste For a thicker glaze use less juice to icing sugar and for a thinner glaze use more liquid to icing sugar.
Anyway, enough chat from me guys. You really ought to make these baked raspberry glazed donuts. And don’t skip the awesome raspberry pieces on the glaze. So, so worth it.
