Strawberry Frosted Donuts

By srumbel

This recipe yields a small batch (only about 6-7 donuts) which I loved. It can easily be doubled or even tripled, though.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 6 Tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 4 Tbsp Chobani 0% Vanilla Greek Yogurt (or plain or strawberry)
• 2 Tbsp milk (I used vanilla almond milk)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• Strawberry Donut Frosting (recipe below)
• red sprinkles (optional)
• Strawberry Donut Frosting
• 3-4 large strawberries
• 1 Tbsp strawberry jam
• 1 Tbsp milk (or half-and-half)
• 1 – 2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Preparation

Step 1

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.

Use a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off) to pipe the batter into a 6-donut pan. Fill the donut cavities about 2/3 full. Bake 8 to 11 minutes until donuts are set and golden brown. They will spring back when touched. Mine took exactly 10 minutes.

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.

Slice strawberries and puree with 1 Tbsp strawberry jam. Pour into a medium bowl and mix in milk (or half-and-half). Slowly stir in 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar, adding more until you reached the desired consistency. I wanted thick frosting, so I added 1.5 cups.
