Making Strawberry Cake Donuts at home is a snap with this Baked Strawberry Donuts recipe! Just 5 simple ingredients.
I am a donut FIELD. Delicious donuts like these Baked Strawberry Donuts have always been a weak spot for me!
This started early in life! My Dad, who was a very hardworking and busy guy, would take me to Dunkin Donuts as a treat a few times a year. Just me, him and Dunkin's amazing donuts!
I always picked strawberry donuts, because they're my favorite.
I've carried on the donut love with my son. Before he started Kindergarten, we'd have weekly donut dates before I dropped him off at preschool. And who am I kidding, we BOTH loved it!
Although we can't go sit down and have our donut dates right now, that doesn't stop me from making donuts at home!
These Baked Strawberry Donuts are so easy to make, it will shock you!
The strawberry cake donuts themselves, only have five ingredients. I included fresh strawberries, which makes the flavor super FRESH!
Baking donuts is an easy way to reduce their fat content, since they are typically fried. But don't be mistaken, no donut qualifies as health food!
Despite that, I think that it does the soul good to eat cake for breakfast every now and then.
If you don't feel like making icing, just sprinkle the donuts with a bit of powdered sugar.
But, the icing is really tasty. And, super easy! The icing for these Baked Strawberry Donuts only has three ingredients.
And, don't forget the sprinkles!
PS- It can be a little messy to get the batter into the donut pan. You can pipe it using these piping bags to make it super easy!

Could you use this batter in like a mini muffin loaf pan set? Have you tried it in any other capacity besides a doughnut pan? Thanks!

Hi Alicia! I do think this would work in a mini muffin loaf as a cake bread, and I'd guess your bake time would be in the 20-25 minute range. I have successfully used this batter in a mini muffin pan with a bake time of around 9 minutes.
