Strawberry Donuts with Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting – if you love a good strawberry donut, give this yummy recipe a try. The frosting is incredible!
My kids loved my cinnamon sugar donuts so much that they have been begging me to try different flavors of baked donuts. I finally got around to it. We had some fresh strawberries one Saturday morning, so I decided to give strawberry donuts a try. Oh boy. These turned out so yummy!
The fresh strawberries in the batter make these donuts extra moist, and so pretty. They are definitely more dense than my cinnamon sugar donuts, but my kids loved them!
And don’t get me started on the frosting. Oh goodness. It could be consumed by the spoonful. But we managed to get it onto the top of the donuts. The tartness of the berries is a perfect compliment to the sweet frosting. Seriously yummy stuff here!
I love the pretty pink color of these cupcakes. I think they would be so fun for a baby or bridal shower. But of course you can just serve them for everyday brunch like I did. Your family is sure to love them!
If you’ve never made baked donuts before, don’t be scared. It is so simple! If you can make muffins, you can make a strawberry donut. All you need is a donut pan. I have the Wilton non-stick donut pan, and I highly recommend it! It works like a charm, and is even dishwasher safe. It makes donut making a breeze!

Just a question,does the frosting harden enough to stack without sticking? I’m hoping to do a donut stacked wedding cake with them.
Thanks
These were easy to make and absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing.
So glad you liked them Sue! And thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment, I really do appreciate it! 🙂
Would this recipe work well for a cupcake size/pan? I don’t have a donut pan but have a bunch pf strawberries I’d like to use soon.
Yes, you can use a cupcake pan. They will take longer to bake, and I’d guess you would get about 10 muffins, but I haven’t tried it so I’m not quite sure. Let me know how they turn out!
I don’t know if out was the strawberries I used, but these donuts were quite tasteless. The frosting however was the star!
It*
Strawberries do affect the flavor, but they do need the frosting. Just like all donuts, without some type of glaze, frosting, or cinnamon sugar, they are not very tasty. I inadvertently tried a plain baked donut from a bakery once, and it was awful! Haha.
How many donuts does this recipe make?
Thank you
I know it’s been a long time since this question was asked, but based on the amount of flour that the recipe calls for it should make 6 doughnuts (Original spelling).
The recipe makes 8 donuts, so you will need two donut pans.
