Bake up some wonderfully moist donuts and top them with a sweet, simple maple glaze. These baked treats are perfect for your morning coffee or an afternoon sweet craving. Sasha brings her enthusiastic touch to this comforting recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup donut pan well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Spoon or pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Add a tiny bit more milk if the glaze is too thick.
  9. Once the donuts are fully cool, dip the top of each donut into the maple glaze. Let the excess drip off.
  10. Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack for the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth.
  • If you don’t have a donut pan, you can bake this batter as muffins instead.
  • For a richer glaze flavor, use pure maple syrup.
