Description
A moist, flavorful doughnut made with roasted sweet potato puree and topped with a decadent pure maple syrup glaze.
Ingredients
1 cup roasted sweet potato puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
3 tbsp pure maple syrup (for glaze)
1 tbsp milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a doughnut pan with non-stick spray or butter.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, eggs, melted butter, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain.
Step 5: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill each doughnut cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the doughnuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 3 tbsp maple syrup, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 9: Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Notes
Ensure your sweet potato puree is at room temperature before mixing to prevent the melted butter from curdling.
