baked donut recipe Strawberry Glaze With Sprinkles

Description
This easy baked donut recipe with strawberry glaze and sprinkles offers a healthier twist on a classic fried donut. It’s perfect for busy mornings or an after-school surprise, combining sweetness, fresh fruit, and a light, fluffy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup melted butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 to 2 tbsp milk or water
- 0.25 cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a standard 6-cavity donut pan.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined, avoiding overmixing. If the batter is too thick to pipe easily, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk to thin it slightly.
- Fill Donut Pan: Transfer batter to a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into each donut cavity, filling about 2/3 full.
- Bake Donuts: Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until donuts are golden brown around the edges and spring back when lightly touched.
- Cool Donuts: Let donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Strawberry Glaze: While donuts cool, puree fresh (or thawed frozen) strawberries in a blender until smooth. In a shallow bowl, whisk the strawberry puree with powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Glaze & Decorate: Once donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the strawberry glaze. Immediately add sprinkles while the glaze is still wet to ensure they stick. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure donuts are completely cool before glazing. Don’t overbake; check for doneness at 9 minutes to prevent dryness. Test baking powder freshness for proper rising. Adjust glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar for thicker or a tiny splash of milk or water for thinner. Frozen strawberries can be used (thaw first). For variety, try raspberry, blueberry, or lemon zest in the glaze, or add a pinch of cardamom to the batter. Store cooled donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
