Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

After rinsing and mincing 1 cup of fresh strawberries, place them on a paper towel to remove the excess moisture. Pat the minced strawberries dry. Then place them in a small mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Be sure all the strawberries are covered with flour.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and set aside.

Step 4

Then in a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup 2% milk, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract until combined.

Step 5

Next, gradually add in the contents of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.

Step 6

Gently fold the flour coated strawberries into the batter and ensure strawberries are interspersed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Now add the batter to a piping bag and pipe into the prepared donut pan.

Step 8

Place into a preheated oven and bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a cake tester and ensuring it is clean when removed. Place the donut pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Once cooled, remove donuts from the pan and allow to continue to cool on the cooling rack. When cool, remove donut holes.

Step 9

While the strawberry donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons 2% milk, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Then add 2 teaspoons of strawberry gelatin and whisk together until the icing is thick and is not too thin.

Step 10

Dunk each donut top down into the bowl of prepared donut icing. Remove from the icing bowl and allow to set and dry on the cooling rack.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh strawberries and serve. Enjoy!
