Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Batter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Peach Cobbler Filling
- 1 cup fresh or canned peaches, chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar (for dusting or glaze)
- Cinnamon sugar mix (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Mixture: Gently sauté chopped peaches with brown sugar and cinnamon until soft and fragrant to create the peach cobbler filling.
- Mix the Cheesecake Batter: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Gradually fold these into the cheesecake batter until a smooth, thick dough forms.
- Fold in the Peach Cobbler Filling: Carefully incorporate the peach mixture into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without making it too wet.
- Fill the Donut Pan: Grease the donut pan well. Spoon the batter evenly into each cavity, filling about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the donuts are lightly golden.
- Cool and Glaze: Let donuts cool for several minutes before dusting with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or drizzling with a powdered sugar glaze.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth batter.
- Fold dry ingredients gently to avoid tough donuts.
- Use ripe fresh peaches for best flavor; frozen or canned can be used if drained well.
- Preheat oven fully before baking for even rising.
- Grease the donut pan thoroughly and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the donuts.
