Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cavity donut pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray or butter to ensure easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth and fully incorporated. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it.
- Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter, which can result in tough donuts.
- Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter. Use a light touch to prevent crushing the raspberries.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown.
- Remove the donut pan from the oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then carefully remove them and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Once cooled, dust the donuts with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra decoration and flavor.
- Serve and enjoy the donuts fresh on the same day for the best texture and flavor. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense donuts, so a light hand is key to achieving that fluffy texture.
- Fresh Raspberries: Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture. If you can’t find fresh ones, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- Piping the Batter: For a neat and easy way to fill your donut pan, use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. This helps ensure that each donut is filled evenly without making a mess.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your donuts a minute or two before the suggested baking time. They’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Decorate to Your Taste: For an extra touch of sweetness, dust your cooled donuts with powdered sugar or drizzle them with melted chocolate. You can also add a sprinkle of crushed raspberries for a beautiful presentation!
- Serve Fresh: These donuts are best enjoyed fresh on the same day they are made. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain their texture.
