This recipe offers a way to enjoy the classic flavors and textures of a jelly donut without the added guilt.

The Story

Donuts have been a beloved treat for centuries, evolving across cultures and cuisines. The jelly-filled donut, in particular, holds a special place in many culinary traditions, celebrated for its sweet filling and soft, doughy exterior. By baking these donuts instead of frying, this recipe offers a modern, health-conscious take on the timeless classic.

Why You Should Make It

Baked Jelly Donuts are an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy a classic dessert in a healthier way. Baking reduces the fat content without compromising on flavor or texture, making these donuts a guilt-free pleasure. Plus, the joy of filling each donut with your favorite jelly or jam allows for customization and fun in the kitchen.

How to Serve

Serve these donuts fresh from the oven, rolled in granulated sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. They’re perfect alongside a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or an afternoon treat. For special occasions, you can also dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for an elegant finish.

How to Store

Baked Jelly Donuts are best enjoyed the day they are made but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them without the sugar coating for up to a month and warm them up in the oven before serving.

Tips

  • Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill the donuts with jelly or jam neatly.
  • Rolling the warm donuts in sugar will give them a delightful crunch and sweetness.
