Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Peach Mixture
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Cheesecake Swirl
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Prepare the Peach Mixture: Peel, pit, and finely chop fresh peaches. Toss them with cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside to let the flavors meld as you prepare the batter.
- Make the Cheesecake Swirl: In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Mix the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined to keep the batter fluffy.
- Assemble the Donuts: Grease a donut pan lightly. Fill each mold halfway with batter, spoon in some of the peach mixture, then add a dollop of cheesecake swirl. Top with more batter and gently swirl using a toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Bake and Cool: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let donuts cool in the pan briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh peaches for best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts tender and airy.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth cheesecake swirl.
- Use a toothpick gently for a beautiful marbled effect without fully mixing layers.
- Grease the donut pan well to prevent sticking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Freeze wrapped donuts for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
- Reheat gently in microwave or oven to restore softness.
