COCOBERRY BAKED DONUTS

 

TOTAL TIME: 45 minutes 

YIELDS: 8 Donuts

 

INGREDIENTS 

• 98 gms All purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 30 gms Fresh blueberries 
• 57 gms Unsalted butter, Room temperature 
• 75 gms Granulated white sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 60 ml Full fat mil

COCONUT GLAZE:

• 1/4 cup Coconut powder
• 1/2 cup Icing sugar 
• 3-4 tablespoons Milk (+/-)

METHOD 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease your donut pan with a non-stick cooking spray or brush the pan with a thin layer of unsalted butter, dust few tablespoons of flour on top of it. Tap and remove the excess.
• In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt.
• Add the lemon zest in sugar, stir well.
• In a separate bowl, with a hand mixer beat the butter and sugar for a minute or until it’s fluffy and pale in colour. Add in the pure vanilla extract and egg, beat for a minute or until incorporated.
• With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in 2 additions and milk in two additions alternately, starting and ending with the flour. Mix only until combined. Do not over mix the batter.
• Place the batter in a piping bag. Pipe the batter into the wells of the pan. Reserve the remaining batter for the second batch.
• Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Remove them from the pan and place it on a cooling rack.
• Wipe the pan with a paper towel and coat a cooking spray. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
• Once the donuts are cooled completely. Glaze your donuts.
• For COCONUT GLAZE, whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Add milk in portions until you get your desired consistency. 
• If the glaze is too thick, add more milk and if it’s too thin, add more icing sugar. 
• Dip the top of each donut into the glaze. Swirl and allow the excess glaze to drop back in the bowl. Place the donuts on a pan with a cooling rack on it. Repeat the process with the remaining donuts. 
• Let the donuts sit for about 15 minutes until the glaze has started to firm up, then serve.
