These are Peach Crumb Baked Donuts! They are extra fluffy and are filled with sweet peaches. Before baking in the oven, they are sprinkled with a scrumptious sugar streusel. This recipe uses fresh peaches and makes six donuts total.

Can you believe the last time I baked donuts was over a year ago!? They were these Baked Blueberry Donuts. That is crazy to me.
This small batch recipe is so easy to make! The donut batter is mixed together in a bowl. Then it’s divided evenly between six donuts. They’re topped with fresh peaches and a sugar streusel, baked in an oven, cooled, and sprinkled with some icing sugar.

Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake these peach crumb baked donuts. You will need a greased regular sized donut pan, two bowls, a spatula, and a whisk. Preheat the oven 350°F/176°C and grease a donut pan with oil. Set aside.
Step 1 – Make streusel. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt using a fork or my favourite, my fingers.
Step 2 – Whisk wet ingredients. In a large bowl (one big enough for the entire batter), whisk together the egg, vanilla, sour cream, and butter.
Step 3 – Add sugar. Toss in brown sugar and whisk.


Step 4 – Add dry ingredients. Toss in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until a donut batter forms, do not overmix! We don’t want tough donuts around here!
Step 5 – Pipe donuts. Place the batter in a large plastic bag and cut off about ½” off from the tip. Fill donut pans.
Step 6 – Top off with peaches and streusel. Gently press peach pieces on each donut (I did 5-6 on each). Sprinkle sugar streusel on top.


Step 7 – Bake. Bake for 18-20 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when you push on the donuts and they spring back in the pan.
Cool and enjoy! These donuts are best enjoyed fresh.

Ingredient Substitutions
Peaches – Feel free to substitute for a fresh berry, such as strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries!
Sour cream – If you don’t have any sour cream, you may substitute for yogurt or buttermilk!
FAQ
Can I mix the peaches into the batter?
No! I tried folding them into the donut batter the first time I made them, and I found two issues. First, it was difficult to pipe out the donuts, it created a mess. Second, the donuts fell apart because they were too wet.
Can I use frozen peaches?
No, frozen peaches carry to much liquid. Fresh is needed! Dice them into small pieces.
Expert Baking Tips
- Use a gram scale for most accurate measurements.
- Sprinkle the diced peaches on top of the piped donuts. Don’t mix them into your batter directly.
- Use fresh peaches, not frozen.
- Don’t add to many peach pieces or else the donut’s won’t rise properly. Do 6-7 small pieces maximum on each donut.
