Baked Strawberry White Chocolate Donuts

Enjoy the strawberry season while it is still going strong! I used lots of fresh strawberries so you get one in almost every bite. The glaze is made with freeze-dried strawberries ground down to a powder giving you an extra intense flavor and that beautiful hue! The white chocolate drizzle is for good measure 🙂

This is the donut pan I use. This recipe makes just enough for 6 donuts.

Prep Time 30 mins
Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Servings 6 donuts

Ingredients
  

Donut Batter:

  • 1 cup flour (125 grams)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp white balsamic vinegar (see recipe notes)
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped strawberries (see recipe notes)

Strawberry Glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup freeze dried strawberries
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (plus more if needed for thinner consistency)

White Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 2 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray donut pan with non-stick spray or use room temerature butter and flour (shaking off excess flour).
  • Pour white balsamic vinegar into whole milk and set aside while you mix the dry ingredients.
  • Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the vegetable oil, vanilla, and egg. Add the milk with vinegar and whisk to combine. It may appear to curdle/separate but that is okay!
  • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour your wet ingredients in the middle. Use a wooden spoon to mix the batter together. Mix until just barely combined and then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pans until they are almost full. The batter will make 6 full-size donuts. Bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the donut comes out clean.
  • While the donuts are baking, make the glaze. Place 1 cup freeze dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until you have a strawberry powder. Whisk with powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
  • When the donuts are done, flip them out of the pan onto a cooling rack. They need to be slightly cooled so the glaze doesnt melt off- wait about 5-10 minutes and then dip the tops in the glaze. Place the donuts back on the cooling rack (glazed side facing up) and allow the glaze to set, about 5 more minutes.
  • Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring between times, until melted and smooth. You can also do this on a stovetop. Drizzle on donuts and enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you do not have white balsamic vinegar, use 1/3 cup buttermilk instead of 1/3 cup whole milk. 
  2. The strawberries need to be finely chopped to about pea-size. This ensures that you get some strawberry in every bite and that you won’t get any mushy spots. If your strawberries are too big and settle to the bottom of the pan, it can mess with the integrity of the shape of the donut.

New Recipe: Apple Cider Donut Whoopie Pies! Intr New Recipe: Apple Cider Donut Whoopie Pies! 

Introducing you to my favorite thing I made this fall- these whoopie pies! Whoopie pies are like little cake sandwiches (they may look like cookies but they are soft like cake).

These whoopie pies are made with reduced apple cider, warm fall spices, and a spiced marshmallow filling. The tops are brushed with melted butter and a cinnamon sugar coating that will remind you of the apple cider donuts you get at the farmstand.

I know you probably already have your Thanksgiving dessert picked out, but maybe you can make these with any leftover apple cider? You will not regret it. 

Wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

The hardest part of living on Maui is being far aw The hardest part of living on Maui is being far away from our family and friends for the holidays. 

This is a throwback to the mango macarons I made for our friends before they moved back to the mainland. We are missing them a little extra this week!

The recipe is from @piesandtacos. It was my first time making macarons using the Swiss meringue technique, normally I use the French method. The Swiss method calls for heating the sugar and egg whites over a double boiler before whipping the meringue. I found the Swiss method resulted in a macaron batter that was a little sturdier and easier to work with. 

The macarons have homemade mango jam in the middle followed by a ring of mango buttercream. As always, I used the Golden Glow mangos from Yee's Orchard- they are the best! 

Camila of @piesandtacos has a fancy airbrush machine to paint the macaron shells (which looked SO nice). I don't have an airbrush machine so I used food coloring and a little vodka. Thanks to @barleyandsage for the inspiration! 

Hope you all have an extra special Thanksgiving week with your loved ones 🧡

Thanksgiving pie- Maui style! These are the passio Thanksgiving pie- Maui style! These are the passion fruit and meringue bars from @cloudykitchen. They have a graham cracker crust, a lemon passion fruit curd, and toasted Swiss meringue on top. These are delicious and very fun to make (especially the torching part)!

This recipe is made in a loaf pan. Since I am baking for just the two of us most of the time, I really appreciate small batches. The leftovers stored very well in the fridge so you could easily make this ahead of time.

I will definitely make this recipe again. Thank you, Erin, for a great recipe!

Happy Easter! 🐰 I posted this new recipe for a Happy Easter! 🐰 I posted this new recipe for a Tropical Coconut Carrot Cake Loaf and I think you will love it!

The cake batter is filled with shredded carrots and warm spices but it also has mashed bananas in it (a trick I learned from @ambitiouskitchen). The bananas add sweetness and moisture, giving the cake a perfect texture. I topped it with a coconut buttercream and toasted coconut flakes to complement the banana. 

Check out AnchoredBaking.com for the recipe! I hope you give it a try :)

Happy Mardi Gras! 💜💛💚 Today would be a gr Happy Mardi Gras! 💜💛💚 Today would be a great day to make these vanilla bean beignets with passion fruit curd. Hardly "traditional" but one of my favorite recipes I have ever published. The beignets have a fluffy, pillowy texture and the curd is a nice tangy complement to the sweet dough. I also wrote about the history of beignets on AnchoredBaking.com if you want to learn more :)
