In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Carefully spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.

Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

While donuts cool, prepare the glaze: whisk together the powdered sugar and raspberry puree in a small bowl until smooth.
