Baked Huckleberry Donuts

Rich and tangy in flavor, these huckleberry donuts are a deeper more intense version of a blueberry donut.

Made with our Amoretti® Natural Wild Huckleberry Artisan Flavor, this product provides a fuller, well-rounded berry flavor.

The base of this recipe is a simple, old-fashioned style donut that combines warm spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and a sprinkle of cardamom. 

The result is a perfect harmony of sweet, tart, and spiced notes.

To enhance the flavor further, we incorporate a touch of our Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon "European Style" Water Soluble Extract.

Once baked to a golden perfection, the donuts are dipped in a huckleberry glaze, adding an extra layer of fruity sweetness.

The glaze not only enhances the berry flavor but also gives the donuts a beautiful, glossy finish.

These huckleberry cake donuts are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a special treat any time of the day.

Enjoy them fresh and warm, paired with a cup of coffee or tea, and experience the burst of wild huckleberry in every bite.

Ingredients

• ½ cups whole buttermilk 
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon "European Style" Water Soluble Extract
• 2⅓ cups all-purpose flour 
• ½ cup granulated sugar 
• 2½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon cardamom
• ½ teaspoon salt

For the glaze:

• 2 cups of powdered sugar, sifted
• 1-2 tbsp of milk
• 1 tbsp of Amoretti® Natural Wild Huckleberry Artisan Flavor
• Optional: edible glitter dust 

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray two 6-well donut baking pans with spray cooking oil.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. Set aside,
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter, vegetable oil, and Amoretti® Vanilla Madagascar Bourbon "European Style" Water Soluble Extract. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, whisking until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and cut about a half-inch from the tip.
4. Pipe about ¼ cup donut batter into each well. Bake until donuts are puffed and lightly golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately flip onto a wire rack and let sit until cool.

For the glaze:

1. In a small mixing bowl combine the powdered sugar, milk, and Amoretti® Natural Wild Huckleberry Artisan Flavor. Mix until smooth.
2. If needed, add 1 or 2 more tablespoons. Consistency depends upon your personal preference. For a thicker glaze (will stick better) try and add as little liquid as possible. For a thinner, more runny glaze, add more liquid.
3. Once achieved, dip donuts into glaze top down. Lift up and let the excess glaze run off. Set to the side. Repeat until finished,
4. OPTIONAL: once set, spray the donuts with a bit of edible glitter dust. OR make a small batch of plain glaze (4 tbsp of powdered sugar and 2-4 teaspoons of milk) to drizzle on top.
5. Devour.
