Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.

- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, raspberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth.
- Dip each cooled donut into the raspberry glaze and allow the excess to drip off.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries or freeze-dried raspberry powder if desired, then let the glaze set before serving.
