Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries Best when ripe and sweet.
  • 1/2 cup milk Keeps the batter moist.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Adds richness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor.
  • 1 large egg Binds everything together.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Provides the base for your donuts.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Helps the donuts rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Works with the baking powder for fluffiness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven and grease the donut pan.
  2. Mix mashed strawberries, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg in a bowl.
  3. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the donut mold, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If your strawberries are a bit tart, add a touch more sugar to the wet ingredients. Make sure to mix the wet and dry ingredients separately before combining to ensure a light, fluffy texture. Avoid overmixing the batter.
