Sweet and Savory Maple Raspberry Bacon Donuts

Maple Raspberry Bacon Donuts made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon chopped
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and maple syrup until combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries and chopped bacon.
  • Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, glaze the donuts with powdered sugar mixed with a bit of water, coating them thoroughly.
  • Serve the donuts warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional bacon pieces if desired.
