baked biscoff cookie butter doughnuts
The doughnut you need for the weekend, or weekday, or, shit, anytime.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup Biscoff spread (or any cookie butter)
- 3/4 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4-1/3 cup buttermilk
Biscoff glaze + garnish
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Biscoff spread
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tbsp milk, as needed, to thin
- 2-3 Biscoff cookies, crumbled
- additional whole cookies, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 12-slot doughnut pans with oil.
- In a bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar, and Biscoff until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the yogurt and vanilla. The batter might curdle slightly. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer running, slowly stream in 1/4 cup of buttermilk. If the batter seems too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons more. The consistency should be slightly thicker than cake batter.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a ziptop bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pans, filling about 2/3 of the way. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the tops are firm and an inserted toothpick emerges with just a few moist crumbs. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then run a knife around the edges of each doughnut to loose and transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely.
- To make the glaze, melt 1/4 cup of Biscoff in the microwave until very smooth, about 35-40 seconds.Cool 5 minutes. Whisk in the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of milk. Thin the glaze as needed with additional milk - you want it to be thick with a good drizzle, but not so thick that it clumps.
- Melt the additional 2 tablespoons of Biscoff in the microwave for about 30 seconds. This will be for the drizzle.
- Dip one side of each doughnut in the glaze and let excess drip off into the bowl. Set on a wire rack with a piece of parchment beneath the rack to catch any stray drips. Choose one of your decorating options for each: cookie crumbles, a whole cookie, or drizzle, or a combination of any. Repeat with the remaining doughnuts.
