Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Donut Batter:

- Add the Sugars: Stir in the granulated and brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the Donuts:
- Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.

How to Serve Biscoff Baked Donuts

Additional Tips for Biscoff Baked Donuts
- Use a Piping Bag: Pipe the batter into the donut pan for neat, evenly shaped donuts.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the donuts and remove them as soon as a toothpick comes out clean to avoid dry donuts.
- Customize the Glaze: Add a splash of vanilla or cinnamon to the glaze for extra flavor.
- Double the Glaze: If you love a lot of glaze, double the recipe so you can coat the donuts twice.
- Store Properly: Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Let Donuts Cool Before Glazing – Warm donuts will absorb the glaze instead of letting it set beautifully on top.
- Double Dip the Glaze for Extra Flavor – For a richer Biscoff taste, dip the donuts once, let the glaze set, then dip again.
- Add a Crunchy Topping – Crushed Biscoff cookies sprinkled on top of the glaze add texture and an extra cookie butter punch.
- Store Properly to Keep Fresh – Keep donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
- Warm Before Serving for a Freshly Baked Taste – If storing leftovers, microwave a donut for 10-15 seconds to bring back its soft texture and enhance the Biscoff flavor.
- Fill the Molds Evenly – Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off to distribute the batter evenly. This helps the donuts bake uniformly.
