Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Donuts:

  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) buttermilk (or substitute with regular milk + 1/2 tsp vinegar)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the Vanilla Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with nonstick spray.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill the Pan: Spoon the batter into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner cut off, and pipe it evenly into the donut pan cavities, filling them about ¾ full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the milk for your desired consistency.
  9. Glaze the Donuts: Dip each donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Add sprinkles if desired.
  10. Serve: Let the glaze set for a few minutes, then enjoy your freshly baked vanilla donuts!

Notes

  • You can customize these donuts by adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
  • Use food coloring in the glaze for a fun and colorful twist.
  • Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
