Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your donut pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar and egg until smooth and pale. Add Greek yogurt, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in two additions, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Spoon the batter into each donut pan cavity about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let donuts rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Puree chopped strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. In a bowl, whisk strawberry puree, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth and drizzle-friendly.
  9. Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze or spoon it over. Place back on the rack to set for about 15 minutes.
  10. Serve fresh and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts tender. Let donuts cool completely before glazing to ensure the glaze sets properly. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as noted in variations. If glaze is too thick, warm gently to loosen.
