It’s Monday and that calls for a donut! I’m continuing with my lemon and seasonal berries obsession with delectable lemon raspberry donuts!
This recipe is another one of those easy ones where you just need (beside the donuts’ ingredients) a couple of bowls, a whisk, a donut pan (or two), and a heated oven to make some delicious, fresh homemade baked donuts.
No frying oil or electric mixer needed so cleanup is easier. Plus a lot of the ingredients are baking staples that I bet you already have in your pantry, especially if you enjoy baking.
Since the donuts are baked, they are a little healthier than their fried counterparts so that means you can eat three at a time instead of one you can eat one donut fresh from the oven guilt-free and then pack the rest and bring it into work to share with your peers. Or something like that.
This recipe is a little unconventional from a regular baked donut recipe. The donut batter will not be as thick as a regular donut batter and the bake time is a little bit longer (but not that much) due to the thin consistency of the batter. On the other hand, this recipe is yeast-free (no rising time) and no-knead so that saves time making donuts!
The end result is wonderful: the donuts will rise nicely and bake to a lovely golden-brown colour while staying soft and flavourful for days.
These donuts are fluffy, almost muffin-like in texture, but in a cute donut form. The flavours of the fresh lemons and raspberries bring a natural sweetness and tartness to the donut, which enhances the overall taste of this yummy baked good. The lemony-sweet glaze is the perfect finishing touch to the donut.
Also, let me know if you prefer to spell it “donut” or “doughnut.” I do-nut know which one is the most popular spelling. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
The dry and wet ingredients each in separate bowls! They just need to be whisked and then combined! The ingredients and amounts listed in the "Ingredients" list below.
Once the wet ingredients are combined with the dry ingredients, fill each greased donut cavity two-thirds full.
Freshly baked donuts! The donut top will be a lighter golden-brown than the bottom of the donut.
The easy 2-ingredient lemon glaze adds a bit more lemony sweetness to the donuts.
So delicious and summery in flavour!
A tasty snack to have with your morning coffee, tea, or with a glass of milk! Enjoy!
