Ingredients for 3 Mini Donuts (8 cm diameter):
Note: You can also use muffin tins for this recipe.
- 100 g fresh strawberries
- 50 g yogurt (Greek yogurt is recommended, but you can replace it with cream cheese in the same quantity)
- 30g sugar or your favorite sweetener
- 60g rice flour or oat flour (this recipe uses rice flour)
- 5 g baking powder
Instructions:
- Start by placing the fresh strawberries in a blender or food processor. Blend them until smooth.
- Add the yogurt, sugar (or sweetener), flour and baking powder to the strawberry puree. Mix everything together until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Lightly grease your mini donut pans (or muffin pans if using) to prevent the donuts from sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, filling them evenly.
- If using a microwave, cook the doughnuts on high (950 watts) for 3 minutes. If using a conventional oven, preheat it to 350°F (180°C) and bake the doughnuts for about 20 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
