STRAWBERRY DONUTS WITH NUTELLA GLAZE

You all were probably wondering when the donut portion of this blog was going to happen. Well it's officially happening... and we're here to bring you the perfect donut recipe for your valentine! Strawberry and Nutella go so well together (but what doesn't Nutella go well with?) and this baked donut recipe is super easy.

For the donuts:

1 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup milk

1 egg

1 tbsp melted butter

10  medium to large strawberries, pureed with 2 tsp seedless strawberry jam

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 1/2 tbsp Nutella

4 - 6 tsp milk

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 6-donut pan with cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.  Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the egg, milk and butter. Stir until well combined. Add in strawberry mixture until the batter is wet, but not runny.  Put the dough in a plastic bag (or pastry bag) and cut off the tip to fill the pan, it makes the process a little less messy. We used the remaining batter to fill a mini donut pan for more variety, but the dough makes about 10 normal sized donuts. Bake for 7-9 minutes until donuts spring back when touched. Let cool five minutes and move onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Dip the donuts in the glaze once they have cooled. It may take more than one layer to glaze completely, and we added an extra drizzle after the first two layers set!
