Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

For the Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 2-3 strawberries, mashed

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine and Add Strawberries:
   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
5. Fill the Pan:
   Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
6. Bake:
   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
7. Make the Glaze:
   In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, mashed strawberries, and enough milk to make a thick but pourable glaze.
8. Glaze the Donuts:
   Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, letting excess drip off. Place on a rack to set. Enjoy!
