Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups (142 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup finely chopped strawberries
- 1 egg
- ⅔ cup canola oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
Dry and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- Optional sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and thoroughly coat a nonstick donut pan, mini muffin, or regular muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt, creating a central well for wet ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine vegetable oil, buttermilk, egg, white vinegar, and vanilla extract until the mixture appears smooth and well-integrated.
- Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredient well and gently fold until a uniform batter forms, taking care not to overmix.
- Delicately fold half of the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without disrupting the batter’s texture.
- Carefully spoon of batter into each pan cavity, filling approximately two-thirds full.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut emerges clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking confectioners’ sugar with 1-of milk until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Gently fold the remaining strawberry pieces into the glaze, ensuring even distribution.
- Once the donuts have completely cooled, dip the tops into the strawberry glaze, allowing excess to drip off.
- Optionally sprinkle decorative toppings over the glazed donuts and let them sit on the wire rack until the glaze sets firmly.
