Ingredients needed to make Lemon sugar donuts:
For the Donuts:
- All-purpose flour
- Granulated sugar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Butter, melted
- Eggs
- Plain yogurt
- Lemons
- Fresh lemon juice
- Vanilla extract
For the Sugar Coating:
- Granulated sugar
- Lemon
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with a light coat of cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, eggs, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the donut molds, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The donuts should be lightly golden.
While the donuts are baking, mix granulated sugar and lemon zest in a shallow bowl. As soon as the donuts are cool enough to handle, dip each into the sugar mixture, coating them generously.
Your Baked Lemon Sugar Donuts are ready to bring a burst of zesty sunshine to your day. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect uplifting treat.
As you take that first bite, the soft, pillowy texture gives way to a burst of lemony goodness. The sugar coating adds a delicate crunch, perfectly complementing the zesty notes. These donuts are not just a snack; they’re a mood lifter, a sweet embrace that whispers, “today is going to be wonderful.”
