Baked lemon donuts

Hi everyone! Have you ever heard of baked donuts? Yes, baked and not fried. Well yes, they exist and I have not gone crazy. It is one of the new recipes and booms that arise in the pastry to forget all the oil that a donut absorbs when frying.

Baked donuts are much more fluffy, keep more flavor and are super easy to make. In this case, I used a Wilton mold to bake it but you can’t even look at my homemade chocolate donuts where I teach you a trick to make them without a mold and make them perfect.

Ingredients for 12 donuts:

1 cup coconut or vegetable oil
1 cups white sugar
3 eggs
lemon zest
1 cup of milk
3 cups normal flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 pinch of salt.

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 180º. Grease your mold with butter or release spray.

In a bowl, beat the oil, sugar and eggs. Gradually add the flour along with the yeast and the pinch of salt.

Mix until a homogeneous mass is obtained and add the milk little by little until all the liquid has been integrated and no lump is found.

When you have a soft dough add the lemon zest and the toppings you want as split fruit or chocolate.

Fill the molds with a spoon or a pastry bag to half its capacity and bake for 20 minutes or until when you prick with a stick, it comes out clean without any liquid crumbs.

Let cool and enjoy them with a simple glaze or coffee.

I hope you liked it since this recipe was very successful at home and if you want some more flavor you tell me through my social networks.

Many kisses, Soco.
