Baked Spiced Pear Donuts with Vanilla Glaze

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375.

Step 2

Grease the donut pan and set it aside.

Step 3

Combine the dry ingredients for the donuts in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add in the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Fold in the pear.

Step 6

Scoop batter into a pastry bag. Fill the donut pan 3/4 full with batter. Smooth tops with the back of a teaspoon.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Remove the donuts from the pan and place them on a baking rack to cool.

Meanwhile, combine ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the donuts and sprinkle with more cinnamon.

Store the donuts in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze.
