Soft and fluffy, these baked coffee donuts are an easy and delicious way to start your day! They're topped with a coffee glaze for extra sweetness, making them a simple yet satisfying treat.
2/3cupstrong brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
1egg
2tablespoonsvegetable oil
2teaspoonsvanilla extract
For the Glaze:
1cuppowdered sugar
2-3tablespoonsstrong brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
For the Donuts:
Preheat oven to 400F and spray 12 wells of a donut pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl with a handheld electric mixer), combine Bisquick baking mix, sugar, sour cream, coffee, egg, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed to incorporate, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium speed until just smooth.
Spoon the batter into the prepared wells of the donut pan. Bake in preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert the donuts onto a wire rack (so the smoothest side is facing up) and proceed as directed below if you are adding a topping to the donuts.
For the Glaze:
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of coffee, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of coffee and whisk to combine.
Dip the tops of the cooled donuts in the glaze, then let them sit for about 10 -15 minutes to allow the glaze to set up and harden slightly. Then serve and enjoy!
Notes
Leftover donuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can mix the batter by hand. Just make sure it's well-combined and smooth.
