Description
Satisfy cravings with these delectable Carrot Cake Doughnuts. Easy recipe, perfect for dessert lovers seeking a unique twist on classic flavors.
1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium carrots)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)
1 cup powdered sugar (for the glaze)
2–3 tablespoons milk (for the glaze)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your doughnut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Add the finely grated carrots and mix until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
If using walnuts or pecans, fold them in gently.
Using a piping bag or a spoon, fill each doughnut cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the doughnuts cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze, or drizzle it over. Let the glaze set for a minute.
