Easter Donuts with Brown Butter Icing
Spring is here, Birds are singing, Flowers are blooming…
What else to do than to Celebrate Easter which is just around the Corner.
I could not wait to get my Donut Tray from bonCOOK™ so I could try new donuts recipes with in. This mold is so versatile, you can freeze it, cool it, and heat it in both a microwave oven and in a traditional oven. Of course it is Made in France, which guarantees the best quality.
It’s been a while since I have baked a recipe from Christelle (@iletaitunefoislapatisserie) and I am so glad I found her Strawberry Donuts Recipe to which I added an Easter Twist (since I was out of Strawberries Ahaha)
I promise you, they are as good as they look! And you will get 8 beautiful donuts in one bake!
Enjoy & Bon Appetit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.

Equipment
Ingredients
DONUT BATTER
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup (240 g) buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5 g) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla Paste
- 1/2 cup (110 g) vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
- 2 cups (250 g) flour
- 2 tsp (10 g) baking powder
- 3 Tbsp (45 g) Easter Sprinkles
BROWN BUTTER ICING
- 1/4 cup (60 g) butter (Melted)
- 1 cup (120 g) confectioners sugar
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) milk
- 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) Almond Extract
- 32 Easter M&Ms
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350F/180C.
- Place your Donut Flexipat® Tray on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet.
DONUT BATTER
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the Eggs, Buttermilk, Vanilla Extract and Vegetable oil.
- Then, with a spatula, gently stir in the Sugar, Flour and Baking Powder. Mix until smooth.
- Finally, add the sprinkles, without overmixing.
- Fill your Pastry Bag with the batter and carefully pipe it onto each donut's well of the Flexipat®.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your donuts from 15min)
- Once your donuts are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then unmold gently.
BROWN BUTTER ICING
- Place butter in a small sauce pan and heat on medium until melted. Then, continue to heat until there are no more bubbles coming up and the whistling has reduced (about 5min). Pass your brown butter through the sift. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners sugar with the milk and Almond Extract. Then, gently add the cooled brown butter. (If it is too thick add a little bit of milk ; if it is too runny add a little bit of confectioners sugar).
- Fill your Pastry Bag with the icing and carefully pipe it onto your donuts. You can also simply dip them into the icing. The icing will set within 1 to 2 hours depending on the thickness. Decorate with the M&MS Easter eggs and add Sprinkles on top.
- Slide your donuts onto a serving plate. Serve and Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
