Donuts baked in oven are a great alternative to regular donuts fried in oil.
These baked donuts are so amazing! They are really soft, tender and delicious and strawberry jam makes them taste heavenly. What more could you want! The main difference is that they are crunchy on the outside. We like to make baked ones because we can eat lots of them without any guilt.
We also have a recipe for fried donuts, if you want to check them out.
Filling
We always use jam with low amount of sugar so it can be a bit runny and go a bit out of the donuts, but there’s still plenty left inside. If you want to avoid that you can use jam with more sugar. Instead of jam you can also use chocolate or vanilla cream, or any other filling. If you love vanilla cream and chocolate, make sure to check out our chocolate vanilla donuts that are baked in an air fryer! And you can also use the cream recipe for these oven baked donuts.

Hi, if I want to use dry yeast, at at what point of the recipe and how should it be added?
And how much dry yeast should I use?
Hi, you should skip the first step, and just add dry yeast to the flour and mix it together. I think around 15 g, but it is usually written on a package of dry yeast, how much you should use for the amount of flour that you are using.
I loved the recipe!
What type of flour? Plain or self rising?
Regular plain flour.
Does it need to be rice milk? Can I use soy?
You can also use soy milk, it will just be a bit less sweet.
Thankyou, great recipe
Can you use regular sugar instead of coconut sugar?
Yes, sure.
