Piña Colada Baked Doughnuts Recipe

The glaze on these doughnuts is infused with pineapple juice for added flavor. Bake the doughnuts instead of frying them to cut down on calories.

Pina Colada Baked Doughnuts

Before You Start

You will be using one 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple. Strain the pineapple, but reserve the juice (Image 1). You'll need to squeeze out as much of the remaining juice as possible using a cheesecloth or clean lint-free tea towel. There should be some left over to use for the glaze. Do not overmix; most steps require only enough mixing to combine.

Strain Pineapple

Yield: 18 doughnuts

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • doughnut pan

For the Glaze

  • remaining pineapple (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Doughnut Instructions

1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat doughnut pan with oil. Mix together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk to fully combine ingredients.

2: In a separate bowl combine oil, buttermilk, rum extract and eggs. Whisk until well combined.

3: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix only until moistened. Add vinegar, and mix well. Sprinkle in pineapple and fold in until combined.
