I decided to make some strawberry donuts. One, because we have a donut obsessed fool in this house, who's favorite are "pink" donuts. And I figured it's so common to see strawberry and blueberry breakfast dishes or treats for 4th of July themed foods, that this would fall into that category, but be something a bit different.
Ingredients
1C Whole Wheat Flour
6 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 C Strawberry Greek Yogurt (any yogurt will do!)
3 Tbsp milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp butter (melted)
Strawberry Frosting
4 strawberries
1 Tbsp milk
2 Cups powdered sugar
sprinkles, optional
Directions
For donuts: Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray donut pan (or muffin pan) with non-stick spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, and baking powder. Set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter. Slowly mix wet ingredients into dry- just until fully combined. Do NOT overmix.

Spoon in batter into a 6-donut pan. Fill the donut cavities about 3/4 full. Bake 15 minutes until donuts are set and golden brown. They will spring back when touched.
Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan, about 5 minutes. Dip donuts into strawberry frosting 1-3 times, depending on how thick you'd like them frosted. Top with sprinkles.
Yum-O!!! Looks SO good! Might have to make these, like asap!
ReplyDeleteThose look so good! We always make donuts on the weekend and I have yet to try a recipe using greek yogurt. The mini will definitely love these, especially with the sprinkles on top!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with donuts :)
ReplyDeleteThese are getting made ASAP! I've been wanting a reason to bust out the donut maker!
ReplyDeleteThese are baked?! Genius! Healthy donuts that actually look delish! Who knew?!
ReplyDeleteYep, I got my donut pan at Target for about $10. I would definitely stick with regular flour as these really have a wheat/bread like taste. When I make pumpkin donuts, they are always more muffin like then true donut like, but I think that's just because of the baking factor.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love baking donuts at home!
ReplyDeleteOh these look good!! These might have to happen over 4th of July weekend.. Thanks for the recipe!!
ReplyDeleteThese look SO good, though I will be trying them with an egg replacer for my little egg-allergic boy. I guess I should head out and pick up a doughnut pan. Good thing my Bed, Bath and Beyond coupon just showed up yesterday. :)
ReplyDeleteThese look SOOOO good! Like addicting good! :)
ReplyDeleteYou had me at donut!! Yummm!!!
