Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Donut Batter:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Biscoff spread, melted butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Add the Sugars: Stir in the granulated and brown sugar, mixing until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the Donuts:

6. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
7. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze:

9. Make the Biscoff Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the Biscoff spread, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust the amount of milk for desired consistency.
10. Glaze the Donuts: Dip the top of each donut into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. Place on a wire rack and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies if desired. Let the glaze set before serving.

How to Serve Biscoff Baked Donuts

Biscoff Baked Donuts are versatile and can be served in many ways:

• With Coffee or Tea: These donuts pair perfectly with a warm beverage.
• For Brunch: Add them to your brunch spread for a sweet treat.
• As a Dessert: Serve them with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for a more indulgent experience.
• Gift-Giving: Wrap them in a box or bag for a thoughtful homemade gift.
• Warm and Fresh: Enjoy them slightly warm for the best texture and flavor.

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.
