- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cup sliced strawberries + extra for decorating, if desired
- 1/2 cup non dairy milk
- 1 extra large egg (see notes for smaller eggs)
- 2 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter or refined coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
GREEK YOGURT GLAZE –

- 1 teaspoon non dairy milk or water
- 1 Tablespoon strawberry puree, one strawberry blended or 3 drops natural red dye
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease the donut pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour. Whisk in the sugar, baking powder, and salt to the sifted flour until combined. Set aside.
- Cut the stems off the strawberries and add to the blender along with the milk. Blend until a smoothie-like mixture forms.
- Once blended, turn the blender on low and slowly add in the egg, melted butter, and vanilla until combined.
- Pour 1/3 of the blender batter into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Repeat until you’ve used up the blender batter and the mixture in the bowl is smooth like muffin batter.
- Spoon the donut batter into the greased donut pan or use a pastry bag/ziplock bag for the perfect donut shape. The batter will make 10-12 donuts.
- Bake donuts for 15 to 17 minutes or golden brown.
- While the donuts are baking, make the glaze. Once the donuts are cool, dip in the glaze.Â
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days.Â
Notes
Substitutes – Use 1 large egg and 1 egg white in place of an extra large egg. Use Monk fruit or erythritol sugar in place of coconut sugar and powdered sugar for glaze.
Blending options – Use a food processor or hand mixer in place of a hand mixer to make the strawberry batter.
