Strawberry shortcake buttermilk donuts are baked. Glazed with strawberries and powdered sugar.
Since I bought my mini donut pan I am experimenting with all donuts. Few months ago I made Sweet Potato Baked Mini Donuts and they were a HIT at my home. Therefore, now it was a time to make something different. Valentine’s Day is coming and I thought that strawberry shortcake baked donuts will be perfect for this occasion. I also wanted to make buttermilk donuts so I got all my products and I began baking.
These mini donuts are fun to make and even your little children can help you to prepare them. They are baked instead of fried. I know the fried donuts may taste differently but baked donuts are a little healthier. They are glazed with only pureed strawberries and powdered sugar. These donuts are soft and cakey. However, the buttermilk keeps them moist. That’s why I like baking with it. The recipe yields about 15 buttermilk donuts.
I always thought that donuts are difficult to make but once I made them I changed my mind. They are so simple! If you don’t have a mini donut pan
I hope you’ll have a fabulous Valentine’s Day! If you are looking for more recipes for this occasion I have Valentine’s Day Butter Cookies and a healthy dessert Chocolate Truffles Recipe. And stay tuned…I will be posting few more delicious recipes for Valentine’s Day!

Oh. I am so excited to find this recipe.
In this months Better homes and Gardens magazine I got a free mini doughnut tin. I have made a few standard butter cakes in there, but so far it has been pretty hard to get them out of the tin.
Do you butter yours? Or oil them? Any other tips?????
Will be trying your recipe 🙂
It is so nice to receive a mini doughnut tin as a gift. I almost always spray the tin with oil Misto
So I am pretty sure that doughnuts will not stick to the baking pan.
