How To Make Strawberry Frosted Donuts

Whisk together the egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and yogurt.
Add the dry ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
Fold the diced strawberries into the batter.
Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan. I used these pans.
Bake the donuts in the oven at 350 degrees F until they’re slightly golden brown. Then allow them to cool in the pan before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Add confectioners sugar, heavy cream, and strawberry jam to a small bowl to prepare the glaze. Whisk together until smooth.
Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze and then place them on a cooling rack to set up. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired!

How To Store Strawberry Glazed Donuts

I suggest enjoying these donuts the same day for the freshest taste! If needed, you can store them for 1-2 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be brought to room temperature before eating.

Ingredients

12 donuts

Donuts

1 large egg
½ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups strawberry flavored yogurt
⅓ cup light brown sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries (finely diced)

Strawberry Glaze

1½ cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons half & half
1 tablespoon strawberry jam (I used Bonne Maman)

Steps

Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Prepare a donut pan (or 2 if you have 2) by greasing with butter and then sprinkling with flour.
Whisk together all wet ingredients (egg, melted butter, vanilla extract and yogurt).
In a medium bowl whisk together dry ingredients ( flour, sugar, baking soda and salt).
Combine wet ingredients with dry until just combined with a wooden spoon. The batter will be very stiff.
Fold in the diced strawberries.
Transfer the donut batter to a disposable piping bag and pipe into a greased donut pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until donuts are slightly golden. Allow donuts to cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then invert onto a cooling rack to fully cool!
Prepare glaze while donuts are cooling. In a medium deep bowl, whisk together confectioners sugar, heavy cream and strawberry jam.
Dip the tops of the donuts in the glaze and return to a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath to set. Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired!

Notes

Do not forget to properly prepare your donut pan to avoid sticking. Thoroughly wipe and regrease if you are using the same pan to make a second batch.
The donut batter in this recipe is very thick, if you do not have a disposable piping bag use a ziplock bag with the corner cut to pipe as it would be very difficult to spoon the batter into the donut pan.
You can substitute any liquid in the glaze recipe. I like the cream to give it a richer texture but feel free to use water or your choice of milk.
These donuts are freshest the day they are made. The leftovers can be refrigerated for 1-2 days in an airtight container. They can be brought to room temperature before eating.
