I have recipes for homemade donuts and cake donuts on the blog, but decided I needed to add a recipe for jelly donuts. I don’t know why it has taken me so long, they’re my favorite! There’s nothing better than biting through soft and chewy donut, then getting to that sweet, fruity core. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Donuts are the ultimate sweet treat.

In this recipe I used strawberry jam for the filling, but the great thing about making donuts at home is you can switch this out for any flavor you prefer. Blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, black currant, you name it! You can also use pure jelly instead of jam if you don’t want any pulp in your filling. The donuts themselves are so airy and delicious, your donuts will turn out perfectly no matter what kind of filling you choose. Let’s get started on making some!

Each ingredient plays its part, coming together to create mouthwatering homemade jelly donuts you won’t be able to resist! All measurements can be found below in the recipe card.

These are some of my favorite tips to ensure you end up with the tastiest batch of jelly donuts. With how amazing they are, you’ll want to keep them all to yourself, and I don’t blame you!

While these donuts are best enjoyed the same day they are made, they will keep for 1 day in an airtight container in the fridge. Be aware that the sugar on the outside of the donuts will likely melt and get sticky as they chill.

The dough can be prepared the day before. After kneading and forming it into a ball, place in the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the fridge and pull out when ready to make the donuts. Proceed with step 5.

Here are a few more great donut recipes that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! The great thing about making donuts from scratch is that you get to eat them while they’re fresh and soft. There is seriously nothing better than that!
