Strawberry Shortcake Baked Donuts

Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Donuts! Strawberry donuts with strawberry frosting! You have to try these- perfect for Spring! 

My donut pan is the best worst thing that’s happened to my kitchen. In a recipe rut? Make a pan of donuts. Need a sweet treat to take over to the neighbors? Donuts.

They are so darling and fun to make, especially when covered in a fresh strawberry glaze. Spring will always be strawberry season to me. Growing up, after our Mother’s Day brunch, my sisters and I would always treat our mom to an afternoon of strawberry picking. We had fields a few miles from our house and I looked forward to the day for months. We would pick- and eat- so many strawberries, then come home to create strawberry jam, fruit salad, ice cream, and every strawberry baked good imaginable.

Thank goodness we didn’t have a donut pan back then, as I’m sure I would have favored strawberry donuts to just about anything else.

If you haven’t made baked donuts yet, they taste a lot more like cake donuts than any fried ones. Slightly tender, a little chewy, but with enough bite that you know these are definitely donut material. If you like cake donuts, you are going to love these.

While you can enjoy these donuts sans frosting- why would you? Mash a few berries together with jam until you get a sticky paste, then whisk in enough powdered sugar to make the glaze consistency of your choice. I like mine a little runny that seeps into the hot baked donuts once dunked.
