  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla 

Maple Glaze 

  • 1 1/2 (165 g) Cups Powdered Sugar, Sifted
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons (45 ml) High-Quality Maple Syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk (15 ml), Room Temperature

Assembly

Instructions

Baked Maple Donuts

  1. Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Generously greased a 6-count donut baking pan.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a separate medium mixing bowl, add the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk ingredients to combine.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into bowl with dry ingredients and mix just until no trace of flour is present. Take cake to not overmix donut batter.
  5. Transfer maple donut batter into a large pastry/Ziplock bag. Cut 1/2” off the tip of bag and pipe batter into prepared donut pan.
  6. Bake maple donut batter for 14-16 minutes rotating the pan halfway through bake time. Baked maple donuts are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
  7. Allow baked maple donuts to cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature. 

Maple Glaze 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, maple syrup and milk. Whisk ingredients together until a smooth glaze is achieved without any lumps.
  2. Individually dip each cooled maple donut into the maple glaze. Repeat once more for a thick coated glaze on donuts. 

Assembly 

  1. Sprinkle the sides of each glazed donut with finely chopped toasted pecans (optional).

Notes

  • Baked maple donuts are best eaten the day it is prepared. However, baked maple glazed donuts stored in an airtight container will last up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
  • For the best maple flavor in donuts, try and go for a high-quality maple syrup, grape B if possible.
  • Take care to generously grease donut baking pan to prevent donuts from sticking pan.
  • For evenly shaped donuts, use a pastry or large ziplock bag to pipe donut batter into pan.
  • To make baked maple donuts, I used these baking tools: 6-count donut baking pan, hand whisk, mixing bowls and cooling rack.
