For the Donuts:
 1 cup all-purpose flour
 1 tsp baking powder
 ¼ tsp baking soda
 ¼ tsp salt
 ¼ tsp nutmeg (for the baked donut taste than actual nutmeg taste – don’t leave out)
  cup granulated sugar
 1 large egg
 ½ cup buttermilk
 1 tsp vanilla
 2 tbsp Colavita Olive Oil
 ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries
For the Glaze:
 ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries to end up with 1/4 cup puree
 6 oz confectioners sugar, by weight (1.5 cups, measured)
Equipment:
 Donut Pan
For the Donuts:
1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Oil a donut pan with a little Colavita olive oil. Set aside.

2

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and sugar. Set aside.

3

In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth. Add the Colavita olive oil, whisking until fully combined.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. The batter will be thick. Do not overmix.

5

Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling 2/3 – 3/4 of the way full. A large ziploc bag with one of the corners cut off (remove about ½”) makes a perfect batter piper.

6

Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly brown. Remove the donuts from the oven and let them rest in the pan for a few minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Cool completely before glazing.

For the Glaze:
7

Puree the fresh strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth.

10

The donuts will absorb the glaze, so glaze them just before eating!
