Today we are going to make some yummy strawberry glazed donuts! This is a perfect healthy breakfast option for your kids before school, or you before work! These are one of my favorite donut recipes I’ve made because I love anything strawberry! I decided to bake my donuts instead of fry them to keep them on the healthier (and easier) side. Frying can make a huge mess and it can be a hassle to clean up. My donut pans are from amazon, and they have made making donuts so much easier!
I love the texture that these donuts have! For the flourm I used Bob’s Red Mill’s gluten free flour and it reminds me a lot of mochi donuts since the flour I used uses rice flour. If you don’t know what mochi is, it is a sticky/ chewy Asian dessert, and it uses rice flour as the main ingredient!
For the frosting I used some vegan butter as the base. I love using the one from Miyoko’s, I can hardly tell the difference between this and actual butter! The sweetness comes from powdered sugar, however you can sub this with some powdered sweetener too. Here are a couple that I like: Lakanto’s and Smart 138. To get the frosting to be pink I used some strawberry jam, but you can also just blend up a couple strawberries and use the puree. Lastly, I topped with some sprinkles because who doesn’t love a little sprinkle action? I used some sprinkles from India tree that uses all natural ingredients!
When the donuts are all done baking it is super important for them to cool completely. If you do not allow them to cool the glaze will melt and become a big mess!
