Disclosure: I worked together with the California Raisin Marketing Board to create this recipe and was compensated for my time. The opinions below are mine and mine alone and do not represent those of the California Raisin Marketing Board.
As the year begins I look forward to making the family more homemade treats, like my raisin tarts and raisin corn baked donuts. I enjoy seeing my kid’s faces when I bake something new. This year i’ve challenged to cook more meals and know exactly what i’m feeding my family.
Did you know?
California Raisins are naturally sweet. Their nutrition label states: Zero fat, no cholesterol and no added sugar. Plus, raisins offer 9% of your daily fiber and potassium, and 6% of your daily iron (per quarter cup serving).
Including California Raisins in meals and treats make me feel good about what i’m feeding my family because they are an all-natural, dried-by-the-sun fruit. You can make these delicious baked donuts too!
Raisin Corn Baked Donuts
For these baked donuts, you will need corn meal, corn flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, raisins, applesauce, buttermilk, corn oil, vanilla and salt.
First you mix the corn meal, corn flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then in a separate bowl mix apple sauce, vanilla, buttermilk and oil.
Whisk the liquids into the dry ingredients and then gently fold in the raisins.
Prepare your donut pan by spraying with cooking spray and adding your donut batter to a plastic zip bag.
Cut the bag and pipe it into the pan. You should fill it up to 2/3 these baked donuts rise slightly.
Bake them at 425F for 8-10mins or until nice and golden. Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
Honey Cinnamon Glaze
For the honey cinnamon glaze you need exactly that; honey cinnamon and butter!
Over medium heat, melt your butter, add the honey and cinnamon once butter is melted and stir constantly. Bring to low heat and let it come up to a bubble and stir again. Once you get a syrup consistency remove from heat and into a dish to dip and glaze your donuts.
TIP: move fast once your glaze is removed from heat the glaze will harden to a caramel consistency if you leave it too cool too long.
Make a batch for the family or gift these to friends! We are sure they will enjoy!
