Description

Delicious baked donuts infused with chai spices and topped with a creamy vanilla glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and let excess drip off.
  10. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
  • These donuts pair well with coffee or tea.
