About Powdered Sugar Donuts

Baked donuts are something I adore a lot. They are very light compared to fried donuts. And the best part is that they are super quick to make. The baked donuts recipe comes together in just a few minutes, and you can instantly have them whenever you crave.

We do not need any egg replacer or binding agent to make these donuts. All we need is some basic ingredients, readily available in our kitchen, and yummy donuts are ready.

I have adapted this recipe from my Eggless Cinnamon Sugar Donuts. My family and friends love baked donuts, and so I always try to make different flavors. I have also posted a couple of other donut recipes, Eggless Chocolate Donuts / Baked Chocolate Donuts and Eggless Pistachio Donuts (Baked).

Texture: Eggless powdered sugar donuts are very light and fluffy. They are soft and moist.

Flavors: These baked donuts are flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Ease Of Making: This recipe comes together easily and quickly. There is no need for an electric mixer to make the batter. Also, We need the basic baking ingredients that are readily available in our pantry.

Ingredients

1. All-Purpose Flour: I have used unbleached all-purpose flour, and I will recommend using the same.
2. Baking Powder and Baking Soda: They both are essential for light and fluffy donuts.
3. Salt: I like to add salt for a nice contrast to the sweetness.
4. Sugar: I have used granulated white sugar, and the ⅓ cup makes it perfectly sweet. Even after coating the donuts with powdered sugar, they do not taste overly sweet.
5. Yogurt: Use full-fat yogurt for the best results. Make sure to bring yogurt to room temperature before using it in the recipe. Instead of yogurt, we can also use sour cream.
6. Milk: Use full-fat or low-fat milk, either one will work. However, do not use skim milk or fat-free milk. Also, milk should be at room temperature.
7. Butter: It adds a delicious buttery flavor to the powdered sugar donuts. We have not tried this recipe using oil.
8. Spices: I have used ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the warm flavors. However, you can skip either spice or add another spice of your choice.
9. Powdered Sugar / Icing Sugar: We need ½ – 1 cup of powdered sugar, depending on how generously you are coating the donuts. Serve the donuts immediately after glazing with powdered sugar.

Step by Step Directions

Making The Batter

• Preheat the oven at 350° F.
• Grease the donut pan with nonstick oil spray or with melted butter. Set aside.
• This recipe will yield 8 donuts, so if you have two donut pans, grease both of them.

• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and granulated sugar together in a medium bowl.
• Set aside.

• In another bowl, take yogurt, milk, butter, and vanilla.
• Whisk well to combine.

• Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
• Do not overmix.

Baking The Donuts

• Fill the batter into a large piping bag; there is no need for the tip. Cut the end of the piping bag and pipe the batter into each donut cup, ¾ of the way full.
• Do not overfill as these donuts will rise well.

Helpful Tip: If you do not have a piping bag, you can also use a Ziploc bag. Fill the Ziploc bag with the batter, cut the corner and fill each donut cup ¾ of the way full.  

• Bake the donuts into the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown.
• Do not overbake.
• Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool down in the pan for 2 minutes.
• Then transfer the donuts onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.

• Once donuts are cooled, take powdered sugar in a bowl.
• Deep each donut into the powdered sugar and serve.

Serving and Storing Suggestions

• Powdered Sugar Donuts are best eaten the same day. However, they may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for two days.
• It is best to serve donuts right away as powdered sugar will disappear upon keeping longer. 
• Or, if you are not eating donuts immediately, coat them with powdered sugar right before serving.

Helpful Tips

• You can skip adding ground nutmeg if you do not prefer it. Also, add more spice of your choice if you want.
• Using a large piping bag is an easier way to fill the batter into the donut pan. But instead of the piping bag, you can also use a Ziploc bag, fill it with the batter, cut the corner and fill the donut pan.
• Do not overfill the donut pan; fill it only up to ¾ way full as donuts will rise well.
• These donuts are quick to bake; it takes only 10 minutes. So keep an eye after 8 minutes and do not overbake the donuts.
• Coat the donuts with powdered sugar right before serving as powdered sugar will disappear upon keeping longer.
