→ Dough
01 -
1 cup of blended strawberries (about 12-15 strawberries)
02 -
3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
03 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 -
3/4 cup cake flour
05 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
06 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
07 -
3/4 cup sugar
08 -
1 egg
09 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
10 -
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 -
1/2 cup buttermilk
→ Icing
12 -
Powdered sugar
13 -
Milk
# Instructions:
01 -
Chop off the tops of the strawberries, then blend them into a slightly chunky puree using a food processor. Set aside for now.
02 -
Heat up your oven to 400°F so it's ready to bake.
03 -
Stir together both types of flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a mixing bowl.
04 -
In a large bowl, whip together the egg, butter, and sugar at medium-high speed for about two minutes. Add the vanilla, buttermilk, and blended strawberries into the mix until everything's smooth and combined.
05 -
Slowly fold the dry mix into the wet ingredients on low speed. Be gentle—don’t overdo it. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
06 -
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a freezer bag to make it easier to fill the molds. Place the bag in a glass to hold it steady while filling. Snip off a corner of the bag for piping.
07 -
Grease your donut molds and pipe the batter in, only halfway full. Bake on the middle rack for 7-8 minutes.
08 -
Mix a little milk into some powdered sugar in a small bowl and set the glaze aside.
09 -
Place the baked donuts on a wire rack and drizzle the icing across the tops, letting it drip down the sides. You can also dunk the donut tops into the glaze if you'd like. Let them sit for about 20-30 minutes until the glaze hardens before enjoying!
# Notes:
01 -
These strawberry donuts are soft and light, perfect for everyone to enjoy. No fancy baking skills required!
02 -
Since they're baked, they're lighter than fried ones but still fluffy and flavorful.
03 -
Using ingredients like buttermilk and cake flour adds an extra boost, so try not to swap them for alternatives!
04 -
Make sure you grease every mold well and take the donuts out while they're still warm to keep them from sticking.
05 -
Feel free to sprinkle in a bit more sugar if you like them sweeter.
