Strawberry Donuts

 

I am all about strawberry recipes this week, I think they are perfect for Mother’s Day. Strawberries are in full season here and we are eating so many strawberries in our home. The kids are gobbling them up every day. We went strawberry picking last week and picked three buckets. They couldn’t wait to get home and try them. Pretty sure that day they ate a bucket of strawberries. A few days later we went to the farmer’s market and bought three more buckets of them. The kids are so happy they get a choice of fruit in our house. They love fruit and eat it all the time.

Ever since I started making homemade bake donuts, I rarely eat a donut from anywhere else. Fried donuts just taste weird to me now. There is something about a baked donut that I just love. I think I like them better, because it is more like a cake texture. The kids loved these donuts, in fact they love any kind of donuts we make!

If you don’t have a donut pan, there are a few out there I like. Wilton is a good one and easy to find. I love the Pampered Chef, but they are little bit smaller donuts. Nordic Ware pans I love too. So get yourself a donut pan and happy baking donuts!!

That’s the Dish from my Kitchen to your Kitchen ????
