Baked Carrot Cake Donuts Recipe

These heavenly carrot cake donuts are baked and not fried and they are all you need on a cold rainy afternoon to shoo away the monsoon blues. Every bite of these baked donuts feels like home.

Carrot cake donuts are healthy, they’re delicious, and they’re so easy to make. Since you wouldn’t believe me, you need to try them yourself and tell me how it turned out for you guys!

Ingredients of Carrot Cake Donuts

The very healthy and non-fried but baked carrot cake donuts do not require you to go out of your way to make them.

They’re simple- some flour, some baking powder, some spices, oil, sugar, and you’re pretty much done. But make sure you are using light brown sugar instead of dark brown sugar. The dark version of brown sugar has a more complex taste and will entirely change the taste of the recipe. Also, if you want the carrots to have a subtle texture, finely grate them. However, if you fancy a very evident texture, you can always choose to grate them coarsely. You can also add some nuts to the recipe if you’d like that.

Experimenting with Carrot Cake Donuts

While I dunk these baked donuts in cinnamon and sugar mixture, you can go one step ahead and also use cream cheese frosting or buttercream frosting on the top.

Using these frostings on your donuts will give them an extra edge and you can have them as a special dessert at your party!
