Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup flavorless oil, like canola or vegetable
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
- Sprinkles for decorating
- Blood Orange Glaze, recipe follows
- Rhubarb Glaze, recipe follows
- Blueberry Glaze, recipe follows
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 to 5 tablespoons fresh blood orange juice (from about 2 blood oranges)
- 4 stalks rhubarb, small dice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, plus more if needed
Instructions
- To make the donuts: preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12-cavity donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and water in a medium bowl. Whisk the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir to combine. Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe the batter into the donut pans, filling each cavity halfway. This could get a little messy.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove to a rack and cool completely.
- To decorate the donuts, dip them halfway into the glaze and then allow excess glaze to drip off. Sprinkle the tops with sprinkles and enjoy.
- Combine the confectioners’ sugar, honey and 4 tablespoons of the juice in a bowl. Add more juice little by little until the mixture is spreadable (you might not need the full remaining tablespoon). It should be quite thick yet spreadable.
- Put the rhubarb, granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water into a small pot on a stovetop. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the rhubarb is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a blender and puree until smooth, then transfer to a bowl. Add confectioners’ sugar as needed for taste and consistency.
- Put the blueberries, granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water into a small pot on a stovetop and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the berries have burst and the sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Pour into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a small bowl, straining if necessary, then add the confectioners’ sugar. Whisk to combine, adding more confectioners’ sugar as needed for taste and consistency.

Super easy and delicious!!!
I have made these a couple of times already because they are so great. I love that they are a little denser than regular fried donuts. I also have tried a variety of glazes and they all tasted good on these donuts.
Oh my word so good!! Super easy. I put cinnamon, maple extract, and almond and some and nutmeg
Very moist and delicious and easy to put together. I made a cranberry, orange glaze to dip them in. I do however think it tastes like a boxed vanilla cake. Still tasty nonetheless!
Love this recipe. My 12 year old granddaughter and I made this together. It went together easily, baked perfectly, and she loved the glazes- we made all three! This one is a keeper
This was my first time attempting to make donuts, and I definitely had a few hiccups! However, they turned out well overall! I only used the blueberry glaze and had a difficult time getting it to the right consistency. These taste more cake/cupcake like than a typical donut, but were delicious nonetheless! Would definitely make again and I think the second time will go more smoothly!
Hi molly yeh I love donuts every Saturday morning My daddy gets donuts for breakfast love Nora
Really easy to make, my daughters loved!
These are delicious! Light and fluffy and moist.
I made a vanilla bean glaze because I didn’t have the ingredients to make any of the glazes in the recipe but they were incredible. Baby, toddler, and husband approved.
