    You can never have enough donuts - from funfetti donuts to banana donuts to Oreo donuts to baked pumpkin donuts to churro donuts.

    And while most people associate getting them from their favorite local donut shop, they can actually be quite easy to make at home. Especially when the donuts are baked.

    You can have these strawberry glazed donuts ready for breakfast in under 15 minutes!

    Why This Recipe Works

    Simple - you just mix together some ingredients together in a bowl and bake in a pan.
    Quick to prepare - you can have these donuts prepared in 15 minutes.
    Flavorful - you get that intense strawberry flavor from the glaze plus the light sponginess of the donuts.

    Ingredient Notes

    • All-purpose flour - the base for these donuts. They have not been tested with other types of flour so any changes might affect the outcome.
    • Baking powder - important in giving that rise you see in donuts. Doesn't need to react with acid to create a rise.
    • Milk - adds moistness and helps with the texture.
    • Freeze-dried strawberries - adds an intense strawberry flavor to the glaze.

    Ingredient Swaps

    Like any recipe you can mix up the ingredients. Some variations include:

    • While I like all-purpose flour as it is the most common, but cake flour works well too and creates even a lighter donut. You can also go with oat flour if you want to be gluten-free.
    • I like to use granulated sugar with these donuts, but light or dark brown sugar can be used.
    • I use whole milk, but you can use a dairy free milk like coconut milk or almond milk. You can also use sour cream or Greek yogurt.
    • You can replace the butter with a neutral oil.
    • If you don't have freeze-dried strawberries, puree half a cup of fresh strawberries.

    FAQs

    Is It Doughnuts or Donuts?

    So I guess the real way to spell it is doughnuts but Dunkin' Donuts popularized the spelling of donuts back in the 1950's. For me, I go with donut.

    Are Baked Donuts Healthy?

    I wouldn't go as far as to say they are healthy, but they are healthier than fried donuts. Like anything, eat in moderation. You won't regret eating these donuts!

    How Do I Know the Donuts are Done?

    Just like with any cake type batter that you make, you'll know the donuts are done when a toothpick comes out clean.

    Can I Add Sprinkles?

    Yes. Just add the sprinkles after dipping in the glaze. At that point it will look like The Simpsons famous donuts.

    How Long Do Baked Donuts Last?

    Leftover strawberry glazed donuts will store well in at room temperature for 1-2 days in an air-tight container.

    Equipment

    The equipment you use is important to how the donut recipe turns out. What is needed is the following:

    • Donut pan - since you are baking these donuts, you need a good pan.
    • Large bowl - used to whisk together the ingredients.
    • Rubber spatula - something is needed to mix together the ingredients. Can also use a spoon.
    • Food processor - helps get the freeze-dried strawberries super fine so it mixes well with the sugar.

    Pro Tips/Recipe Notes

    • Even though they say non-stick, spray your donut pans with non-stick cooking spray to make sure the donuts come out.
    • When measuring the flour, lightly spoon it into a measuring cup and then level it off with the back of a knife to get the right amount.
    • You can spoon the batter into the donut pans, but the easiest way to get the batter in the pan is by using a pastry bag or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
    • Let the donuts cool completely before you dip them in the glaze.
    • Use a food processor to get finely crumbled freeze-dried strawberries.
    • Leftovers will store well in at room temperature for 1-2 days in an air-tight container.

    Ingredients

    Vanilla Donuts

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoon milk
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Strawberry Glaze

    • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberries, crumbled
    • 2 tablespoon whole milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    Vanilla Donuts

    • Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract and stir until just combined.
    • Place batter in ziploc bag and squeeze out air. Cut corner of bag. Spray donut pan with non-stick spray. Pipe the batter evenly in the donut pan. It should make 6.
    • Bake for 8-9 minutes or until stick comes clean. These are a sponge-like consistency so don't expect it to be really browned on top. Remove from oven and remove from pan and cool on a cooling rack.

    Strawberry Glaze

    • For the glaze, whisk the sugar and dried strawberries in a shallow bowl. Slowly stir in milk and vanilla extract to make smooth, pourable glaze. Dip each donut in the glaze and place back on cooling rack. Allow glaze to set for 30 minutes before serving.

    • Even though they say non-stick, spray your donut pans with non-stick cooking spray to make sure the donuts come out.
    • When measuring the flour, lightly spoon it into a measuring cup and then level it off with the back of a knife to get the right amount.
