1
Carrot cake baked donuts
2
Heat the oven to 180C (350F) and lightly oil a 6 hole donut pan with a flavorless oil. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, and mix all the wet ingredients, (excluding the carrot), in a large jug.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix with a spatula to combine. Then stir through the carrot to distribute.
4
Fill the donut pans 2/3 full by using a teaspoon to spoon the mixture into the pan and place in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to make sure they don't become too brown
5
Leave to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire wrack to cool completely. Fill the pan with the remaining mixture and repeat the cooking and cooling process.
6
Cream cheese and pistachio frosting
7
Mix all the ingredients together, bar the pistachios, in a large bowl. Taste and add more icing sugar as desired.
8
Ice the donuts by gently dunking each one into the frosting, giving it a twirl, and then removing. Top up with extra frosting applied with a spoon or small knife.
9
Sprinkle with the pistachios and eat! Keep in the fridge, in a container, for up to 3 days.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
