Ingredients for Strawberry Glazed Donuts

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • All-Purpose Flour: Forms the base of the donuts, giving them structure.
  • Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the donuts and gives them a tender texture.
  • Baking Powder: Helps the donuts rise to achieve a fluffy texture.
  • Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the donut batter.
  • Eggs: Binds the ingredients together and adds tenderness.
  • Butter: Provides a rich flavor and soft texture.
  • Fresh Strawberries: Mashed to make the delicious glaze.
  • Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the glaze and gives it a smooth consistency.

How to Make Strawberry Glazed Donuts

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and baking powder.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the milk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let the donuts cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cooling, prepare the strawberry glaze by mashing fresh strawberries and mixing with powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Dunk the cooled donuts into the strawberry glaze, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the wire rack to set.

Tips for Making Strawberry Glazed Donuts

  • Use Fresh Strawberries: Fresh strawberries yield the best flavor for the glaze, making it vibrant and tasty.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir the batter until just combined for the fluffiest donuts; overmixing can lead to dense donuts.
  • Rotate the Pan: If your oven tends to have hot spots, rotate the pan halfway through baking for even cooking.

Make-Ahead Instructions

  • Prepare the donut dough up to the point of filling the pan, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning.
  • Make the strawberry glaze ahead of time and store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.

Freezing Strawberry Glazed Donuts

  • Freeze the plain baked donuts without glaze by placing them in a single layer in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • To serve, thaw overnight in the fridge and glaze just before serving for freshness.

Reheating Strawberry Glazed Donuts

  • Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for a warm treat!
  • If you prefer a crispier donut, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or afternoon snack.
  • Add some whipped cream and sliced strawberries on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
