Strawberry Buttermilk Doughnuts Recipe

We love a good doughnut. A few of the sisters worked at our friends doughnut shop while in high school. We love these super soft baked doughnuts. The buttermilk and fresh strawberries makes for an amazing taste. And since they aren’t fried, go ahead and eat 2 without any guilt!

Easy baked doughnuts that are loaded with the delicious taste of strawberry!

Prep Time 15

Cook Time 8

Total Time 23

Ingredients

2 cups flour
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
4 Tablespoons butter melted
2 eggs
¾ cup buttermilk
1 Tablespoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons strawberry jam
1 cup fresh strawberries diced small

Glaze

½ cup fresh strawberries diced small
1 Tablespoon heavy whipping cream
1 Tablespoon strawberry jam
2 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease cake donut pans with non stick cooking spray (I used 2 Wilton doughnut pans that hold 6 doughnuts each)
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until well blended.
In another bowl combine the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and strawberry jam
Add the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, then fold in diced strawberries. Carefully spoon mixture into doughnut pans, filling 3/4 full.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack. Then make the glaze while the doughnuts are cooling.

Glaze

Mix strawberries, whipping cream, and jam until blended. Then add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if you need to thicken the glaze more. You can drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts, or dip them into the glaze. We still had glaze left over, so we dipped them a second time after the first layer of glaze set up for a few minutes.
Eat right away because these doughnuts are so delicious!

Questions & Reviews

Deb says:

Do you think they would be just as good with blueberries???
Cyd says:

Blueberries should work fine too. We also have blueberry doughnuts on our blog. Here is the link - https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2015/08/baked-blueberry-doughnuts.html
Wendy says:

What if I don't have a doughnut pan?
Cyd says:

You could try putting the dough in a muffin tin, but they would turn out like strawberry muffins. For making doughnuts, you really need a doughnut pan. Now is a good time of year to buy them. There are a lot of holiday deals going on. Here is a link if you want to get them on Amazon. They ship quickly. https://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Nonstick-6-Cavity-Donut-Pan/dp/B004CYELOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480364169&sr=8-1&keywords=wilton+doughnut+pan
Felicia Sjöberg says:

Are you supposed to whip the cream before it goes into the glaze?
Cyd says:

You do not whip the cream, just add it into the glaze.
Mardell says:

Could you use thawed out frozen strawberries? It is hard in my part of the country to get good fresh strawberries.
Cyd says:

It should work. Frozen strawberries are pretty gooey when thawed. Try to get as much moisture off of them as possible.
Kim says:

What kind of flour works best?
Cyd says:

We use bleached all purpose flour. Sometimes we use Gold Medal flour, or even the store brand flour works great.
Skyler says:

Can you fry these as well?
Jo says:

Can I bake it as a cake instead of doughnuts or muffins? If so, about how long should I bake it for? Trying to make a special cute heart shaped cake for my honey!
Shamika says:

Do you know the calorie intake?
Cyd says:

Here is the link with the nutritional information on our Strawberry Buttermilk Doughnuts. https://www.myrecipemagic.com/strawberry-buttermilk-doughnuts-2501977302.html
Cyd says:

We have only made it into doughnuts. Just watch it closely so as not to overcook.
Judie says:

Any of your donut recipes gluten-free?
Pat Sherman says:

Made these Strawberry Donuts today, as printed! Off the hook good. They are easy and delicious. You are missing out if you don’t try them. Baked donuts are amazing. Quick, easy and DELICIOUS. Thank you Six Sisters for this recipe .
Cyd says:

Thanks so much for your sweet comment. We are so glad you loved the doughnuts.
Cyd says:

If they are, it's not on purpose. We don't have many gluten free recipes, but if you are used to subbing out ingredients, I'm sure you could adapt them.
Jstern says:

We really liked these. Great texture.
Valerie says:

Any recommendation on baking time for a mini donut pan?
Momma Cyd says:

I'm not sure how mini your donut pan is, so just watch that first batch closely and the toothpick test is always good!
Randi Cockerham says:

Doubled the recipe. Made 20 doughnuts and 3 small strawberry breads. When the breads came out of the oven I glazed them while hot so it could soak into the bread and make them real moist. Once cooled I glazed them again to look like the doughnuts. The neighbors love when I bake.
Momma Cyd says:

Sounds delicious! We want to be your neighbor!!!
