Rich, creamy cheesecake filling meets the warm spices of peach cobbler in these irresistibly soft baked donuts that bring together two beloved desserts in one delightful bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups diced peaches
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 12-cup donut pan with butter or cooking spray. Make sure to coat all the ridges well to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside while you prepare the wet ingredients.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl by whisking together buttermilk, granulated sugar, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. The mixture should be well-blended but don’t worry if it looks slightly lumpy.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture using a rubber spatula, stirring just until combined. I always remind myself to stop mixing as soon as I don’t see dry flour—overmixing creates tough, dense donuts instead of the tender texture we’re after.
  5. Fill each donut cavity about 2/3 full using a piping bag or large spoon. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the tops spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted into the thickest part comes out clean.
  6. Cool the donuts in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack. While they cool, prepare your cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and pipeable.
  7. Make the peach topping by cooking diced peaches, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until bubbly and thickened. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
  8. Assemble your donuts once completely cooled by piping or spooning the cheesecake filling into the center wells, topping with the warm peach mixture, and finishing with crumb topping if desired.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients: Let your eggs and cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes before mixing—they blend smoother and create better texture.
  • Don’t overfill the cavities: Stick to that 2/3 full rule or your donuts will lose their signature shape and bake unevenly.
  • Use fresh peach juice: I always reserve any liquid from dicing fresh peaches and add it to the topping for extra peachy flavor.
  • Pipe for perfection: A piping bag makes filling the donut pan so much easier and gives you uniform, professional-looking results every time.
  • Cool completely before filling: Hot donuts will melt the cream cheese filling, so patience here prevents a messy disaster and keeps everything picture-perfect.
  • Assemble just before serving: The peach topping can make donuts soggy if left sitting too long, so I prepare components ahead but assemble fresh.
