Ingredients

For the donuts:

  • 1 cup (127 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 7 ounces (198 grams) unsweetened nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries

For the strawberry glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups (188 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3/4 teaspoon light corn syrup or golden syrup
  • *1/2 cup (6 grams) freeze dried strawberries, finely crushed
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Directions

Make the donuts:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray two 6-cup donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, yogurt, oil, and lemon juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Add in the chopped strawberries. Gently fold everything together until just combined. The batter will be thick, do not overmix.
  3. Scoop the batter into a piping bag or freezer bag and snip a bottom corner with scissors. Squeeze out the batter evenly into each cavity of the prepared donut pan. You may only have enough for 11 donuts.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes and then flip over onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Make the glaze:

  1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a whisk until smooth. Immerse each doughnut into the glaze. Place glazed doughnuts on a wire rack above a lined sheet pan to catch any excess glaze. Let set for 15 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

*Freeze-fried strawberries are available at most grocery stores near the other dried fruits like raisins.
