Raspberry Baked Donuts

With some many flavours of baked donuts to make, I had to bake a raspberry flavoured one.

These moist and fluffy Raspberry donuts are so delicious.  They have raspberry bits through the donut and are covered with a tangy raspberry glaze.  They are so easy to make and take hardly any time.

This donut is a must for raspberry lovers.  I hope you get a chance to bake them.  Best of all you can use frozen raspberries.  That means you can bake them all year round even when raspberries are not in season.

Tips

· Donuts are best eaten within the day they were baked.

· Buttermilk can be substituted for the milk and vinegar
· For the raspberry puree, you can use frozen raspberries and just use a blender to make the puree.
· I added some raspberry paste from Queens for added flavour but you can leave it out.
