Baked Donuts Recipe
Traditional and Thermomix Recipe
Even in Italy, here are the famous American donuts, delicious, soft and sweet, but for a healthier life, we will bake them instead of frying them like the originals.
No need for rising, so they are quicker and easier to make, just have an 8-donut mold. I was helped by my niece.
Donuts are a symbol of American pastry, famous worldwide and made popular in Italy by the TV series Homer Simpson, perfect! with a very soft texture and a white or dark chocolate glaze.
Let’s prepare them the Italian way.

Steps
Baked Donuts Recipe
In a bowl, place the sugar and eggs, then whisk with an electric whisk for about 4/5 minutes until the mixture appears light and fluffy.
Then add yogurt and oil and continue to whisk until the mixture is well combined, at this point add the baking powder and flour, reduce the speed of the whisk and mix until all the flour is incorporated
Pour the batter into a greased and floured donut pan, and bake in a preheated ventilated oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes
When the donuts are baked, let them cool and then unmold them.
Let’s make the glaze
Place the chocolate in a food processor and chop it,
Then transfer it to a small bowl and melt it in the microwave. If you choose to glaze in white, it’s fine as is, but if you want colored glaze, add a food coloring of choice.
Glaze the donuts by spreading a teaspoon of melted chocolate on the surface and sprinkle with colored sprinkles. Let dry and serve.
