Equipment
- Donut Pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
Ingredients
Donut Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp vanilla Greek yogurt or plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Strawberry Frosting
- 3-4 fresh strawberries pureed
- 1 tbsp strawberry jam
- 1-2 cups confectioners’ sugar sifted
- red sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag (or a resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off) and pipe it into the donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 8 to 11 minutes, or until the donuts are set and lightly golden. They should spring back when touched.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- For the frosting, puree fresh strawberries with strawberry jam until smooth.
- In a bowl, mix the strawberry puree with 1 cup of sifted confectioners’ sugar, stirring until smooth. Adjust with more sugar for a thicker consistency.
- Dip the cooled donuts into the strawberry frosting and place them on a wire rack to set.
- Sprinkle with red sprinkles if desired, and enjoy fresh!
