Since I made the Vanilla and matcha doughnuts, I baked doughnuts a few more times. I love them and they can be a wonderful dessert. This time I’ve made vanilla doughnuts with a wholemeal and white flour mix and I decorated them with Real Handful dried fruits*. You can read on my lifestyle blog a review of these dried fruits.
For this recipe I’ve used half of pack of Blood Orange and dark choc. It contains blood orange flavoured sultanas, orange flavoured cranberries, dark chocolate and peanuts.

Ingredients for 6 doughnuts:
– 40g plain white flour
– 35g plain wholemeal flour
– 50g white sugar
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1 egg
– 60ml milk
– 1 spoon of oil
– 1/4 vanilla paste
– warm apricot jam
– 1/2 pack of Real Handful

Preheat the oven at 160C or 140C fan.

Make the batter by mixing the flour with the sugar and 1/2 tsp of baking powder. Beat the egg with a fork for a minute. Then add the milk, oil and the vanilla paste on the beaten egg. Mix the wet ingredients with a spoon. Tip the dry ingredients on top and, with the same spoon, stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Put the batter into the oiled doughnut baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes. After you take them out of the oven, leave them for a couple of minutes in the tray. Take them out of the mould and leave them on a cooling rack for a few minutes. Meanwhile chop the dried fruits and the nuts. Brush generously the doughnuts with warm apricot jam and sprinkle the chopped nuts, fruits and the dark chocolate pieces on top.

Enjoy!
