Baked Strawberry White Chocolate Donuts

Strawberry donuts, pink frosting, bowl of strawberries

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.

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 :)

Fromage Blanc, Honeycomb, and Fig Viennoiserie fro Fromage Blanc, Honeycomb, and Fig Viennoiserie from The Pastry School by @julie_jonesuk 

Fig season is short but it is sweet! This pastry has a flaky, buttery crunch, fig jam, fromage blanc, and honeycomb. Each bite is filled with delicious flavors. Julie's instructions for the laminated dough were super clear and easy to follow. Check out my stories to see how these were prepped for baking -- I do wish I had something heavier than beans!

I ran all over town looking for fromage blanc (thank you @thecheeseshop!) but I think goat cheese would be just as yummy. I also thought about adding some toasted walnuts to the filling. Luckily, I know I will be making these again so I will try next time :)

Julie's book is full of creative and beautiful recipes - nothing short of artwork! This cookbook would make a great gift for the bakers in your life that like "projects" ;) Thank you, @chubbeekitchen, for showcasing this book and influencing my purchase! You can check out her page to see a bunch of other recipes she made from this cookbook.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) Wha I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving :) What was your favorite thing that you made?

We started the day with a slice of the pumpkin tea cake from @lizprueitt_tartine. It was the perfect recipe to break in my new @nordicwareusa pan- I love the wheat detail and the scalloped edges 😍

We cooked our turkey in a Hawaiian imu- I will do a dedicated post on the process and what we learned next week! 

Wishing you all a restful long weekend with your loved ones :)

Mango Coconut Cheesecake Aloha from Maui where it Mango Coconut Cheesecake

Aloha from Maui where it is definitely NOT fall 😉

This cheesecake has a coconut graham cracker crust which is a subtle but pleasant surprise. The cheesecake batter is made with cream cheese and coconut milk making it extra creamy and delicious! I am most excited about the mango gelée layer which is made with mango puree and gelatine. It offers a nice fruity flavor, a complementing texture, and a beautiful smooth display. I dreamed of this cheesecake for a long time and I am so happy with the way it came out. I hope you love this recipe :)

Check out AnchoredBaking.com where I am also talking about all the different kinds of mangos you can find on Hawai'i. These mangos are from Yee's Orchard stand and they are so sweet and juicy. Best mangos I have ever found! Do you have any favorite mango recipes?

It is still in the high 80s here in Maui with plenty of sunshine and warm waters! I am not ready for all this pumpkin spice. Are you ready for fall baking?

Today is Julia Child's birthday! She would have be Today is Julia Child's birthday! She would have been 109 years old. In celebration, I made one of her favorite desserts- Crêpes Suzette!

You start by making a stack of crêpes. Then you coat each crêpe in a caramelized orange butter sauce, fold them in quarters, sprinkle them with sugar and flablé with orange liqueur and brandy. This is traditionally done tableside because it is quite a show with the flames!

I recently finished reading "My Life in France" co-authored by Julia Child and Alex Prud'homme (her husband's brother's grandson). This book gave me a whole new appreciation for her perspective on life. You could just feel her joy and sense of humor. I highly recommend reading it :) This book also details the writing process for Mastering the Art of French Cooking (which includes this recipe for Crêpes Suzette). It is fascinating and might just be my new favorite book.

Check out my post today on AnchoredBaking.com to learn more about Julia Child and my experience making this dessert. Bon Appétit!
