Ingredients
Scale
Gathering these ingredients is like assembling a toolkit for happiness—each item plays its part in creating the perfect donut. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
Feel free to substitute whole milk with almond milk if you prefer a dairy-free option. The maple syrup is the star here, so use the pure kind for the best flavor.
Instructions
Creating these donuts is as rewarding as sharing them. Here’s how you can make your own batch of happiness:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, melted butter, and maple syrup. Mix until well blended.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the donuts light and airy.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- While the donuts are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Once the donuts are baked, allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Dip the tops of the slightly cooled donuts into the maple glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Let them set on the wire rack until the glaze firms up.
