Baked Doughnuts (Thermomix Recipe)
Delicious, light, and perfect for breakfasts or dessert
These baked doughnuts are soft, fluffy, and lightly sweet — made entirely in the Thermomix using simple pantry ingredients. Because they’re baked instead of fried, they’re lower in fat and easier to prepare in batches. Top them with glaze, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate — your choice!

👩🍳 Method
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
Grease your doughnut pan lightly with oil or baking spray.
2. Dry Ingredients
Place the following into the Thermomix bowl:
-
200 g flour
-
100 g sugar
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp baking soda
-
¼ tsp salt
Mix 10 sec / Speed 5.
Scrape down the sides.
3. Wet Ingredients
Add to the Thermomix bowl:
-
2 eggs
-
120 g milk
-
60 g oil
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Zest (if using)

4. Fill the Doughnut Pan
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or use teaspoons to fill each doughnut mold about ¾ full.
This ensures even rising without overflow.
5. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until the tops spring back when touched and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.

🧠 Pro Tips for Perfect Baked Doughnuts
✅ Do not overmix — keep the batter light for fluffy texture.
✅ Room‑temp eggs and milk mix more smoothly.
✅ Don’t fill too high — doughnuts puff a bit in baking.
✅ Decorate when cooled — glazes and toppings stick better.
