If you're watching your carbs like I do nowadays, I'm also providing directions to make a sugar-free version of both the doughnuts and the glaze!
Bunny-Approved Baked Easter Doughnuts
adapted from Sur le Table
Ingredients (makes 6 doughnuts):
- 1 1/4 cup cake flour
- 1/2 cup sugar OR Whole Earth Granulated Allulose Baking Blend
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- 1.5 TBS melted butter
- 1 TBS vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar OR Whole Earth Granulated Allulose Baking Blend
For garnish: Easter sugars and sprinkles
Directions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 425 ℉. Spray a six-well doughnut pan with non-stick spray. Set aside while you assemble the batter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, sugar/sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir just until combined.
Step 2: Fill each well of the doughnut pan 2/3 full. A pastry bag or plastic zip bag with the corner snipped makes this pretty easy, since it's a thick batter. Bake doughnuts for 4-6 minutes, until the top springs back when touched. Let cooked doughnuts cool for a couple of minutes, then remove from pan. They should release easily without sticking.
Step 3: Make the glaze by combining the milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar/sweetener in a saucepan over med-high heat. Whisk until everything is combined and has a nice dipping consistency. Dip the round tops of each baked doughnut in the icing, letting any excess drip back into the pan. Place on parchment and quickly decorate with sprinkles and sugars before the glaze sets.
Step 4: Let the doughnuts cool for about 5 minutes. This will give the icing time to set and allow the sprinkles to adhere firmly. Your patience will be rewarded with six adorable, tasty doughnuts that the Easter Bunny would be proud of!
These doughnuts are as tasty as they are cute! They bake up moist and light thanks to the buttermilk, and the glaze is the perfect consistency to cover the tops without running down the sides. If you have little ones, they'd have a blast decorating these festive doughnuts. Heck, I'm a big kid, and I had a blast!
