These strawberry donuts are soft, baked cake-style treats bursting with fresh strawberry flavor and topped with a naturally sweet strawberry glaze. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a cheerful dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped or puréed fresh strawberries
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, mashed or puréed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.
  5. Fold in the chopped or puréed strawberries.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each well about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until tops are set and lightly golden.
  8. Let donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, mix strawberry purée with powdered sugar and optional lemon juice until smooth.
  10. Dip or drizzle the glaze over cooled donuts and let sit for a few minutes to set.

Notes

  • Add strawberry jam to the batter for more flavor.
  • Swap some flour with almond flour for a heartier texture.
  • Use freeze-dried strawberry powder in the glaze for a flavor boost.
  • Top with sprinkles or whipped cream for extra flair.
  • Store unglazed donuts in the freezer and glaze after thawing.
