Baked Strawberry Donuts Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
Make the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each one about 3/4 full. Alternatively, you can use a piping bag to pipe the batter into the pan for neater donuts.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and spring back when touched. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Strawberry Glaze: While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more strawberry puree or a few drops of milk to reach the desired consistency.
Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the strawberry glaze, then place back on the wire rack to let the glaze set.
Serve: Enjoy your baked strawberry donuts fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
This delightful recipe brings the freshness of strawberries into a beloved baked treat, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack. Enjoy making and indulging in these deliciously fruity donuts!
