🍓 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed (about 1 pint of fresh berries)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons strawberry puree (optional, for extra color and flavor)
- Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
🍧 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted and cooled butter, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Fill each donut cavity about two-thirds full with batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (or cream), vanilla extract, and strawberry puree (if using) until smooth.
- Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze and let them set on the wire rack. Garnish with sprinkles or chopped nuts before the glaze sets, if desired.
💭 Recipe Tips:
- Strawberry Selection: Use ripe, sweet, in-season strawberries for the best flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter will make the donuts tough. Mix until just combined.
- Cool Completely: Let the donuts cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
- Glaze Consistency: Adjust the glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar (thicker) or milk (thinner).
- Glaze Flavor: Add a touch of lemon zest or a pinch of salt to the glaze to enhance the flavor.

FAQ’S
Can I use frozen strawberries in these strawberry donuts?
Yes, frozen strawberries can be used. Thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before pureeing them.
Can I make these strawberry donuts without a donut pan?
While a donut pan gives the classic shape, you could bake the batter as muffins, although the texture will be slightly different. They’d be more like strawberry muffins.
Can I use a different type of milk in my strawberry donuts?
Yes, you can use any type of milk you prefer, including non-dairy milk like almond milk or oat milk. Buttermilk will add a nice tang.
Can I use self-rising flour in these strawberry donuts?
No, self-rising flour contains baking powder, and this recipe already includes baking powder. Using self-rising flour could result in overly risen donuts.
How do I make chocolate glazed strawberry donuts?
Replace the strawberry puree in the glaze with cocoa powder and a little extra milk. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter.
Can I fry these strawberry donuts instead of baking them?
This recipe is designed for baking, and frying would require different techniques and likely a different batter.
