(Baked) Pina Colada Donuts

Hi friends! So these donuts. Oh maaaaaan!!! Let’s just say this is one of those recipes that after one bite I knew I needed to share – like, immediately. So without further ado – let’s donut! Pina Colada style 😉

These Pina Colada donuts are easy to make, and crazy delicious! It’s funny how something SO simple can also be SO kick-you-in-your-pants amazing. These are proof that sort of treat does exist. Life win? I think so.

The base of these Pina Colada themed treats is a baked donut bursting with pineapple/coconut flavor. The baked donut batter is made with coconut oil, coconut milk, crushed pineapple, and a touch of pineapple juice. So bright and vibrant! The coconut milk and oil also guarantee a moist, tender donut. Yes!

Then we make things even sweeter with a coconut buttercream. Coconut buttercream is just dreamy! And it’s seriously simple to make. Just beat together some butter, powdered sugar, and coconut milk and poof: you just made your buttercream. Loves it.


Ingredients

  • Yields 6 baked donuts with buttercream
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple in its juice
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • *Coconut, maraschino cherries, and chopped pineapple for garish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk, melted coconut oil, pineapple, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together until all of the ingredients are well combined.
  5. Place a large ziplock bag into a cup, then pour the batter into the bag. Snip one corner off the bag, then pipe the batter into the molds. Each donut mold should be about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake doughnuts for 11 to 13 minutes or until the donuts are firm and spring back slightly when touched. Remove from the oven.
  7. Allow to rest for five minutes before inverting doughnuts onto a wire rack to cool completely. Allow doughnuts to cool completely (!!!) before icing.
  8. To make the buttercream -
  9. In a medium bowl or the body of a stand mixer beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and salt. Add coconut milk and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
  10. Pour butter cream into a piping bag, or you can just spread it on the donuts with a knife.
  11. Once donuts are cooled, ice each donut, then top with a cherry, some pineapple, and a dash of coconut. DIG IN!
