  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek Yogurt room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted and cooled

Method
 

Strawberry Donuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat donut pan with nonstick baking spray then set aside.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar together in a large bowl.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, buttermilk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla until combined.
  4. Carefully add wet ingredients to dry, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Take care to avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in strawberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Pipe batter into donut pan, filling cavities 3/4 of the way.
  7. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until tops spring back when pressed by a fingertip.
  8. Cool donuts in pan for 3 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely before adding vanilla glaze.
  9. Clean donut pan, coat with nonstick spray then repeat the baking process with the remaining batter.
Vanilla Glaze
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and lump free. Note: glaze will be very thick but pearly white. For a thinner, more transparent glaze add an additional tablespoon of milk.
  2. Dip donut tops into glaze then allow glaze to set before serving.
  3. Donuts taste best the day they are made but can be covered and stored at room temperature up to 2 days.
