Vanilla Donuts with Strawberry Frosting

Spread the love

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!! In honor of this special day of LOVE!! I am going to share something I love (and have not made in quite a while)….. DONUTS!!! While I love donut flavors of all kinds, sometimes you just want a plain ole’ vanilla flavored donut. To make them a little more festive, we choose a beautiful pink frosting made with strawberries. They looked lovely and tasted equally delicious! I think it would be really good to make this frosting with raspberries instead of strawberries or putting the strawberry frosting on a chocolate donut. They would make a LOVE-ly breakfast treat anytime of the year!!

Ingredients

For Donuts

1 cup FLOUR
1/2 cup SUGAR
1 1/2 teaspoons BAKING POWDER
1/4 teaspoon SALT
1/4 teaspoon CINNAMON
1/4 teaspoon NUTMEG
1/2 cup BUTTERMILK
4 Tablespoons BUTTER, melted
1/2 teaspoon VANILLA
1 Egg

For Frosting

4 STRAWBERRIES
1 Tablespoon STRAWBERRY JAM
1 Tablespoon MILK (or half and half)
2 cups POWDERED SUGAR, sifted

Instructions

For Donuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray donut plans with cooking spray. In a medium bowl stir all dry ingredients until combined. In a large bowl, mix butter, buttermilk, and vanilla. When combined, whisk in egg. Slowly add dry ingredients and stir until blended. Place batter in a large ziploc bag and pipe into prepared donut pans. Bake 8 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from oven and allow to cool before frosting.

For Frosting

Slice strawberries and puree with jam. Mix in milk. Slowly stir in powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Spread on cooled donuts. ENJOY!
