Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder (low sodium if available)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (finely chopped)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cup Low-fat milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free version)
• 1 large Egg
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Strawberry puree (for optional glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan or spray it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter, low-fat milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.

Step 5

Gently fold the finely chopped strawberries into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a large zip-top bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For an optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry puree until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled donuts or dip the tops into the glaze for a more coated finish.

Step 10

Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low sodium strawberry donuts fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
