Description
These fluffy chocolate-covered strawberry yogurt donuts are baked, not fried, and feature a tender crumb thanks to Greek yogurt, bursts of fresh strawberries, and a rich chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely diced and patted dry
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Optional: freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- Optional: sprinkles
- Optional: powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease your donut pan with nonstick spray or softened butter. Dust with a little flour if desired.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the diced strawberries gently to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or zip-top bag, snip off the tip, and pipe into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 20 minutes).
- For the glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butter, and milk or cream. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and shiny. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken.
- Dip the top of each cooled donut into the chocolate glaze, letting excess drip off. Place on the wire rack and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries or sprinkles if desired. Let the glaze set for at least 10 minutes.
- Serve fresh, or store as directed.
