Strawberry Shortcake Donuts

Another wonderful recipe from @emmswason!

Light, fluffy, soft, tender (secretly healthy) deliciously buttery, cinnamon spiced donuts infused with sweet juicy strawberries finished with the dreamiest white chocolate frosting!

Healthy enough to serve for breakfast (with a big ol’ vat of coffee, of course) but indulgent enough to enjoy for a cheeky little late night treat.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons of vanilla yoghurt
• 2 Tablespoons of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries, crushed
• 1 teaspoon of coconut flour
• 1/4 cup Naturally Sweet Monk Fruit
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• For the frosting –
• 1 block of white chocolate – I used dairy free
• For the pink tint I added this gypsy rose latte mix by Knowrish well – amazing ingredients and super yum!

Instructions:

1. For the donuts ;
2. Pre-heat oven to 175’C/350’F
3. Grease your donut pan (or muffin tray) then set aside.
4. Place all donut ingredients apart from the feeze dried strawberries in to a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.
5. Add freeze dried strawberries and stir to combine.
6. Pipe (or spoon) your donut mix in to your prepared donut (or muffin) tray. I like to pour the mixture in to a zip lock bag , snip of the corner and pipe it in to the tray. I find it a lot easier (and way less messy) to do it this way.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes (or 15-20 if doing muffins) until the top springs back when lightly pressed.
8. Set aside to cool while you make your glaze.
9. While your donuts are cooling prepare the frosting –
10. Melt chocolate by your preferred method
11. If tinting half, divide in to a separate bowl and stir in latte mix (or colouring of choice)
12. Dip donuts in to melted chocolate, drizzle any extra to make pretty patterns and sprinkle with extra freeze dried strawberries (or sprinkles of choice because fun!!) .
13. Devour!
