Whaaa. I bought a doughnut pan, made a few doughnuts and forgot to post. Pfft. 🙂 I mislabeled the pictures and they were sitting away in a folder when I happened to see them today.
Now I wish I had a few donuts to munch on right now.
Its Friday! And its so cold out here already.Hello summer gods. Please feel free to tell me if you are bored of all the weather talk. We Seattle-lites are obsessed with it:)
Eat me! What are your fave doughnuts!
I couldnt eat too many doughnuts ever. They always gave me a toothache because of the super sweet glaze. The only donuts I like are from Mighty-O. So now the ones I bake up at home are just about lightly sweet which can be eaten with or without the glaze. These doughnuts are baked, and cake style. The next batch will be yeasty, but since I donated my deep fryer earlier this year, everything gets baked.
I can hear mom telling me that I can still fry in a pan/kadhai and that she will want pakoras when she visits. Darn, Right now, in the middle of the night, while writing about doughnuts, I actually want some deep fried Kachori. uh! salt trumps again.
Puree the strawberries into a smooth puree and take 1/4 cup puree. Add a little beet and puree for a deeper color. I have used strawberry raspberry puree for a batch of doughnuts too. The raspberry gives it a gritty texture though.
I’d love to make these with some blueberries, with a blueberry glaze, the color will be awesome!
More Sweet Breakfast options here.
Add dry ingredients and mix into a thick-ish batter.
Pour into doughnut pan. I used a spoon as you can tell(me=lazy). Doughnuts will be eaten in whichever shape:)
Bake until done. Cool slightly and dip in warm ganache. Take pictures before someone eats them all.

Have you tried these gluten free? Is there a best gf sub?
Maura
Can apple sauce be substituted for the oil as in many other recipes?

Strawberry donuts sounds delicious! I guess I wouldn’t give them a chocolate glaze – just because I don’t like the combination of strawberries and chocolate. But it’s a great recipe and beautiful pictures!
Richa
Thank you! sure, i dont like certain combinations too. but this i do:)
kristy
I’ve been on a cookie kick lately, but these pictures might be changing that! Good heavens, Richa- you are amazing!!!
Richa
Thanks Kristy. Most days i make cookies too. breads and cookies have to be present in this house.

Whole wheat flour doughnuts are a sure winner for me 🙂
Gabby @ the veggie nook
Amazing combinations Richa! I really need to get a donut pan…
Heather Pace
OMG Richa! These looks scrumptious!! That glaze looks sinful (so glad it’s sinless 🙂 hehe
Richa
the glaze is indeed so addictive. i’d probably eat just that:)
Candace

Kiersten @ Oh My Veggies
Oh, they look gorgeous! I almost bought a doughnut pan a few weeks ago and my husband talked me out of it. Now I’m really wishing I had gotten it so I could make these. YUM!
Richa
these husbands:) you can make them in a small cake pan too!
Hannah
Strawberries and rum! Such an inventive combination!
Sunday Morning Banana Pancakes
OMG the chocolate ones with Caramel Sauce – quick send me three fo those stat!
YAY for donut pans, I have the same one but for some reason have only used it once…and I owe my mom some donuts – I am thinking I wil have to include your chocolate version 🙂
Richa
yes, moms should get some chocolate goodies every few days!:)) bring the pan out!
Cadry
Oh, they are so pretty! It’s probably a good thing I don’t have a doughnut pan. These look amazing!
Richa
no worries, you can make them in a small cake pan;)
Caitlin
strawberry AND chocolate cake doughnuts? you just made the chubby little kid in me squee for joy. cake doughnuts were always my favorite. chocolate cake, chocolate ganache. i love the look of the strawberry, too. the color is beautiful!
and i’m surprised you donated your deep frier! isn’t it the goal of every foodie to acquire as many kitchen gadgets as possible? haha! but it’s good, because deep frying food isn’t very healthy. and you’re a healthy vegan lady 😉
Richa
i hadnt used it in more than a year. so we chucked it out. my counter space is limited already:) and now props are taking over my other living room cabinets:) the invasion of the photography props! should have added some beet for the pictures to see the contrasting pink:)
Ashlae
I have two doughnut pans I never use – it’s quite sad. I should probably make doughnuts sometimes soon. Also, I’m obsessed with the weather. So much that I check the forecast several times a day to ensure there are no 90 degree temperature spikes in the foreseeable future. I HATE THE HEAT. Jealous of your cold.
Also jealous of those doughnuts. I’m a sucker for anything with a liquor glaze.
Richa
we have sun today! sunny pleasant day alert! 🙂 yeah that liquor glaze is a killer! hope you are doing good. hugs!
