Instructions
 

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  • Blend the chopped strawberries until smooth. Measure out 1 cup strawberry purée.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the strawberry purée, plant milk, vinegar, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.
  • Fill each donut cavity about ¾ full.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until donuts spring back lightly when touched.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To Make the Strawberry Glaze

  • Blend strawberries until smooth.
  • Whisk strawberry purée with powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Add plant milk one tablespoon at a time until glaze is thick but pourable.
  • Stir in vegan food coloring, if using.
  • Dip cooled donuts into glaze and allow to set for 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and color.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw completely and drain excess liquid before blending.
  • Donuts must be fully cooled before glazing for the glaze to set properly.
  • Applesauce can be used as a variation to replace 1–2 tablespoons of oil for a slightly more moist donut.

Storage

  • Store glazed donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
  • Refrigerate for up to 4 days
  • Freeze un-glazed donuts for up to 2 months
