¼teaspoonsalt
1largeegg
⅓cupvanilla Greek yogurt
¼cuppuréed fresh strawberriesYou'll need about ¾ cup of chopped fresh strawberries to purée for the donuts and the glaze
½cup unsweetened almond milkor milk of choice
2tablespoonavocado oil
1tsp vanilla
For the glaze:
¾cuppowdered sugar
1tablespoonfresh strawberry purée
1teaspoonfresh lemon juice
1teaspoonfresh lemon zestI use the zest of one small whole lemon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a donut pan with non-stick baking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together.
Purée the fresh strawberries and measure out ¼ cup of the purée for the donut batter.
In a separate bowl, whisk all wet ingredients together until combined and smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and whisk in the fresh strawberry purée.
Pour evenly into the donut pan molds, being careful not to overfill.
Bake for 15 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool completely on a wire rack while you make the glaze.
In a small bowl, stir together: powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of strawberry purée, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, and the fresh lemon zest.
When donuts are cool, brush the tops of the donuts with glaze with a pastry brush and enjoy.
Notes
Make sure that the donuts have cooled completely before glazing. This prevents the glaze from soaking into the donut so you end up with a thicker layer of glaze on top.
When glazing the donuts, place a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet topped with a layer of parchment paper or wax paper to catch any drippings.
To make a plain strawberry glaze, just swap the lemon juice for milk and leave out the zest.
Feel free to switch up the citrus. Orange juice and zest and lime juice and zest are great variations for this recipe!
