Baked and Eggless Powdered Sugar Donuts

Baked donuts are something I adore a lot. They are significantly lighter than 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, allowing you to enjoy them instantly whenever you crave them.

We do not need any egg replacer or binding agent to make these donuts. All we need are 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 and Notes

• Flour: I have used unbleached all-purpose flour, and I recommend using the same.
• Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Both are essential for making light and fluffy donuts.
• Salt: I like to add salt for a nice contrast to the sweetness.
• 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.
• Yogurt: For optimal results, use full-fat yogurt. Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature before using it in the recipe. Alternatively, we can also use sour cream instead of yogurt.
• Milk: Use full-fat or low-fat dairy, either one will work. However, do not use skim milk or fat-free milk. Also, milk should be at room temperature.
• Butter: It adds a delicious buttery flavor to the powdered sugar donuts. We have not tried this recipe using oil.
• 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.
• Powdered Sugar: We need ½ to 1 cup of powdered sugar, depending on how generously you coat the donuts. Serve the donuts immediately after glazing with powdered sugar.

How To Make Baked Powdered Sugar Donuts

Making The Batter

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Grease the donut pan with nonstick oil spray or with melted butter. Set aside.
• This recipe will yield eight 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 don’t have a piping bag, you can also use a Ziplock bag. Fill the Ziploc bag with the batter, cut the corner, and fill each donut cup ¾ of the way full.  

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

• Once the donuts are cooled, take the powdered sugar and place it in a bowl.
• Then, dip each donut into the powdered sugar and serve.
