Lemon Raspberry Baked Donuts

🧂 Ingredients

• ½ cup sugar
• ⅓ cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• ¼ cup butter

  (salted, at room temperature)
• ¼ cup cooking oil
• 2 large eggs

  (beaten, at room temperature)
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk

  (or buttermilk, at room temperature)
• ½ cup raspberries
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  (zest from 1 lemon, optional)

Instructions

• 1 To begin making your donuts, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray
  your donut pans or mini-donut pans with some non-stick cooking spray.
• 2 Next, in a large mixing bowl, add your butter, oil, sugar, and brown sugar. Use
  a stand mixer or hand mixer to cream the ingredients together.
• 3 Add in the beaten eggs, baking powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until
  everything is well-combined and evenly distributed.
• 4 Next, alternate between adding gradual amounts of your flour and milk, mixing
  slightly in between each addition. Stop mixing as soon as all of the ingredients
  are combined, you don't want to overmix (*see note).
• 5 Finally, gently fold in your raspberries.
• 6 Transfer the completed donut batter into the donut pans. Make sure to not
  overfill the sections (you'll only want to fill them about ⅔ of the way full).
• 7 Move your donut pants to the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for
  8-10 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Your donuts will be done baking when the edges
  are slightly browned and you can insert a toothpick that comes out with a few
  moist crumbs sticking to it.
• 8 When your donuts are done baking, remove the pans from the oven and let them
  rest for about 5 minutes before removing the donuts from the pan to finish
  cooling.
• 9 To make your lemon glaze, mix together your confectioners sugar, lemon juice,
  and optional lemon zest in a mixing bowl.
• 10 Adjust the consistency by adding small amounts of confectioners sugar (to
  thicken the glaze) or lemon juice (to thin it out). The glaze should be thick
  enough to coat the back of your spoon.
• 11 Dip your baked donuts top-down into the glaze. Lift them away and then place
  them onto a wire cooling rack to finish setting.
