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.
