Happy Monday! How was your Mother’s Day?

Today’s recipe for Fresh Strawberry Buttermilk Donuts would have been perfect for Mother’s Day, too bad I didn’t get to post it earlier.

Have I ever told you how much I love strawberries? (Who doesn’t?) This Strawberry Jello-O Mold No-Bake Bundt Cak [1]e is one of the most popular recipes on my blog.

And I like to use strawberries in so many different recipes like these Fresh Strawberry Buttermilk Donuts.

I also recommend that you try this Strawberry sorbet [2] and Strawberry Nectarine Mojit [3]o, if you happen to have some fresh strawberries on hand.

The use of buttermilk made them light and fluffy. I used half white flour and half whole wheat, to add some extra fiber.

These donuts are not too sweet, which is the perfect excuse to top them with a sweet strawberry glaze.

I’ve been obsessed with baked donuts lately! The dough takes minimal time to prepare and bake. They are a lot lighter and healthier than fried donuts.

I used fresh strawberries in the recipe, but frozen (unthawed) could be substituted.

Try these if you like donuts, strawberries and the color pink!
