Baked Strawberry Donuts cook up in the oven using lighter, healthier ingredients for a tasty treat you're going to love! After cooking, drizzle them with a generous amount of melted chocolate for a sweet breakfast or snack.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a donut baking pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl whisk together the egg, oil, milk, vanilla extract and sugar.
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
Fold the strawberries into the batter. Do not over mix.
Spoon the batter into the donut cavities dividing the batter equally for 9 donuts.
Bake 10 minutes at 350 F.
Remove the donuts from the oven. Cool 5 minutes in the pan before flipping the pan over a wire cooling rack to remove the donuts. I ran a small plastic spatula around the edges first to help release them from the pan.
While the donuts continue to cool, boil a pot of water and place a glass bowl with the chocolate in it over the top. Stir the chocolate continuously until melted.
Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the donuts liberally then eat!
Notes
Mix just until everything comes together.
The batter is pretty thin and a spoon works great for transferring it to the donut pan. Be sure that you divide it up evenly to make a total of 9 donuts.
Dip a spoon, whisk, or fork into the chocolate and then gently swing it over the donuts in different directions to give it a drizzled effect. Repeat using all the chocolate.
If your pan only holds 6 donuts, go ahead and cook the first five. The remaining batter will sit fine to wait for them to come out of the oven before making the remaining four.
This recipe makes 9 standard-sized donuts which area bout 3.25 inches across. If your pan makes larger donuts, you will get fewer donuts and may need to bake them longer.
Store your donuts at room temperature for up to two days. To extend their shelf-life you can refrigerate for up to five days or freeze them for up to three months.
