Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup dairy-free milk
  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)
  • 2-3 tablespoons dairy-free milk (for glaze, optional)
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice (for glaze, optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a standard 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dairy-free milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the finely diced fresh strawberries and lemon zest.
  6. Fill a piping bag or ziploc bag with the batter and fill the donut cavities about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown, and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Optional: Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, dairy-free milk, and lemon juice.
  10. Once cool, dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and let set before serving.

Notes

Opt for organic and local produce for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness by using coconut sugar or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar. Use a muffin tin if you don't have a donut pan.
