Simple to make baked donuts get a technicolor berry glaze for a bright happy donut that you can make in minutes. You’d pay way too much for these at a fancy pants donut shop, and you can stay in your slippers to boot.
Ingredients
Scale
Baked donut batter
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (57 g)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup whole milk, (177 mL)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
- 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (276 g)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (53 g)
- 2 and 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon chai spice blend or ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Blackberry glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120 g)
- 1/2 cup frozen blackberries (71 g)
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (57 g)
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
Make the batter
- Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Melt the butter in a small pan. Brush 2 6-cavity donut pans with a little bit of the butter.
- Break the egg into the butter and then beat until the egg is smooth.
- Whisk in the milk and vanilla.
- Mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, chai spice, and salt, in a bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk mixture.
- Stir to create a thick batter.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop 2 scoops of batter into each well of your pans. Drop the batter into the edges of each well, and then use lightly damp hands to press the dough into the pan.
Baking and finishing the donuts
- Bake the donuts for 16-18 minutes until the tops spring back when you touch them. Turn out the donuts onto a wire rack.
- Load up a blender jar with all of the glaze ingredients and then blend until smooth.
- Pour the glaze into a small bowl. Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze, and then scatter over some sprinkles into the wet glaze. Set the donuts to drain and for the glaze to set on the wire rack.
- Enjoy the donuts right away with a good cup of coffee.

Notes
Swap your berries: Use whatever berries you have. Any frozen berries will make a good glaze, though you might want to adjust the spices. In place of the chai spice, use 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom with strawberries, 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar with raspberries, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with blueberries, or cherries with 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract .
