Raspberry Donuts with Lemon Icing (Baked)

These Raspberry Donuts are baked until lightly golden, filled with fresh berries, and finished with a smooth lemon icing. They're simple to make and fit just as easily on a breafast table as they do on a dessert plate.

Equipment

Ingredients

For the Donuts

1½ cups white whole wheat flour
½ cup Granulated Sugar
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
¼ cup canola oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup fresh raspberries

Glaze:

2 cups confectioners’ sugar
¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together egg, ricotta cheese, oil, and lemon juice. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour wet ingredients into the hole and stir together until well combined.
Scoop batter into a piping bag or a heavy duty freezer bag and snip a bottom corner with scissors. Arrange raspberries in donut pan.Squeeze out batter evenly into prepared donut pan.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few moments and then flip over onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
For Glaze: Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Add more sugar for thickness, more lemon juice for thinness. Drizzle glaze over doughnuts. Let stand until glaze has set before serving.

Notes

Note:

I have 2 wilton donut baking pans that make 6 donuts each. I also have a mini donut baking pan that will make 12 mini donuts. I have made this recipe with all 3 pans, getting 12 regular sized donuts and 12 mini donuts. I did not put raspberries in the mini pans as they are too big to fit in them. If you want all large donuts you can bake in batches if needed.
