Ingredients to make strawberry donuts:
- 2 cups flour

- ¼ cup + 1 tbs coconut oil

You’ll also need:
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt to mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla thoroughly.
Pour this mixture into your dry mix bowl, stir until just combined, then fold in your strawberries.

A: If you can leave off the frosting, that will take away a lot of the sugar.
Q: How long will this strawberry frosted donut stay fresh?

I’ve never tried to make homemade donuts via baking. My recipes always had them fried in oil. These would be just a bit healthier!

Yum, those sound delicious! My Grandma always made homemade donuts. These would be a great thing to make with my daughters.

These look so delicious! And using my favorite fruit is the icing (ha ha ha!) on the donut! I still haven’t managed to make a batch of donuts even though I’ve been wanting to forever. This may be the push that I need.
