Baked doughnuts are incredibly easy to prepare, and they are equally delicious as an on-the-go breakfast or a tasty afternoon snack. These Baked Cranberry-Orange Doughnuts with Orange-Vanilla Glaze contain plenty of lively, citrus-infused flavor without being cloyingly sweet. This is an easy, family-friendly recipe you will want to prepare again and again!

Baked orange-cranberry doughnuts with an orange-vanilla glaze.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream (preferably not low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoon orange juice (more if needed to achieve drizzling consistency)

Directions

Step 1
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and sugar. Stir in oil.
Step 3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, orange zest and dried cranberries.
Step 4
Spoon batter into a lightly greased doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 for approximately 12 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center of one of the doughnuts comes out clean. Dump doughnuts from pan immediately and cool on a wire rack. While doughnuts are cooling, prepare the glaze.
Step 5
For the glaze, stir together powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and orange juice, adding the juice 1 tablespoon at a time until the glaze is a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over doughnuts.

These little gems are so delicious, we devour them almost as fast as I can pull them out of the oven! These are best served warm, but they will save in an air-tight container for up to one week.

    These sound wonderful! I have a donut machine that I recently purchased at Target. Do you know if this recipe would be compatible with the donut machine? Just curious……..

      I’m not familiar with a machine, but I can’t see any reason it wouldn’t work. Thanks for stopping in!
