Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
All-Purpose Flour: A must-have for that perfect donut texture—light and fluffy.
Baking Powder: Ensures your donuts rise beautifully; freshness is key here.
Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the batter and enhances that delightful donut flavor.
Milk: Use whole milk for richness, but any milk will work in a pinch.
Eggs: Helps bind everything together; room temperature eggs work best.
Butter: Unsalted is preferable so you can control the saltiness; melt it for easy mixing.
Mixed Berries: Fresh or frozen; they give the glaze its vibrant color and flavor.
Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet adds richness; feel free to mix it up with dark or white chocolate.

Let’s Make It Together
Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking throughout your donut-making adventure.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk until well-blended and airy—this will help keep your donuts light.
Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Pour this mixture into your dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix!
Spoon Into Donut Pan: Grease your donut pan with nonstick spray. Carefully spoon batter into each cavity about two-thirds full—this allows room for rising without overflow.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. You’ll know they’re done when they spring back slightly when touched.
Cool & Glaze Your Donuts: Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For glazing, mix powdered sugar with blended berries until smooth; drizzle over cooled donuts followed by melted chocolate lines.
Now you have beautiful Berry Glazed Donuts with Chocolate Lines that are ready to impress! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or share them at your next gathering—they’re sure to steal the show!
