  • Make the glaze. Place the finely diced strawberries into a medium bowl. Use a fork to mash and puree the strawberries until almost smooth. Add the vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar and mix until combined. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If the glaze is too thick, add milk.

Notes

  • Use your favorite berries! Substitute the strawberries for blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries for a different kind of baked berry donut.
  • Keep an eye on the donuts as they bake. Do NOT bake them for longer than 10 minutes or they will burn and dry out.
  • To easily fill the donut pan, pour the batter into a piping bag and pipe the batter into each cavity.
Storage: Store baked strawberry donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
