Description

Homemade baked strawberry donuts offer a delightful twist on classic pastry treats. Fresh strawberries infuse these light, fluffy rings with natural sweetness, inviting you to savor each delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups (142 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup finely chopped strawberries
  • ⅔ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 tbsps milk
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Optional sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat Preparation: Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and meticulously spray a nonstick donut or muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Dry Ingredient Fusion: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, creating a receptive crater for incoming liquid components.
  3. Wet Ingredient Harmonization: Whisk vegetable oil, buttermilk, egg, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a silky, homogeneous texture.
  4. Batter Creation: Gently merge liquid and dry ingredients, folding with delicate strokes to maintain a light, airy consistency without overmixing.
  5. Strawberry Integration: Tenderly incorporate half the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution while preserving the mixture’s delicate structure.
  6. Pan Filling and Baking: Distribute batter evenly into pan cavities, filling approximately two-thirds full, then bake for 13-15 minutes until a toothpick emerges clean and surfaces turn golden brown.
  7. Cooling and Glazing Preparation: Allow donuts to rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack; simultaneously, craft a luscious glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar with milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
  8. Final Embellishment: Fold remaining strawberry pieces into the glaze, then delicately dip cooled donut tops, letting excess drip away; optionally sprinkle decorative elements and allow glaze to set completely.

Notes

  • Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture and avoid tough, dense donuts.
  • Check Doneness Carefully: Toothpick test ensures perfectly baked donuts without dry or undercooked centers.
  • Strawberry Distribution Tip: Fold strawberries delicately to prevent breaking down fruit and maintain batter consistency.
  • Cooling Technique: Allow donuts to rest in pan briefly before transferring to prevent breaking or crumbling.
