Ingredients
  

Strawberry Donuts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp freeze-dried strawberries crushed

Method
 

Bake the strawberry donuts
  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉. Lightly grease your donut mold or donut pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and spring back when touched.
Prepare glaze and strawberry crunch topping
  1. In a small bowl, combine the crushed cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter.
  2. Stir until the mixture resembles a crumb topping. (Pulse in a food processor or blender if the topping is too chunky)
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Decorate the donuts
  1. Line a tray with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the cooled donuts from the donut mold and dip the top of a donut into the glaze.
  3. Let the glaze drip off for a few seconds then cover it with the strawberry crunch topping.
  4. Line the decorated donut on the parchment paper tray and repeat.
  5. Serve strawberry crunch donuts at room temperature or chilled.
