Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

2/3 cup freeze dried strawberries or raspberries, ground into a powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

1/2 cup raspberries, mashed (or strawberries, puréed)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup rosé

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any milk)

Extra freeze dried strawberries or raspberries for garnish

2 cups powdered sugar

2 tablespoons freeze dried strawberries or raspberries, ground into a powder (for glaze)

2 tablespoons milk or cream

3 tablespoons rosé (for glaze)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Lightly spray a standard donut pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground freeze dried berries, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar, egg, melted coconut oil, mashed raspberries or puréed strawberries, vanilla extract, rosé, Greek yogurt, and almond milk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the donuts tender.

Step 5: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut molds, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow donuts to cool completely.

Step 6: While the donuts cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, ground freeze dried berries, milk or cream, and rosé in a bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 7: Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the glaze and sprinkle with extra crushed freeze dried berries for a beautiful finish.

Step 8: Serve and enjoy your delicious homemade baked rosé donuts!

Tips & Variations

Use fresh or frozen berries if you don’t have freeze dried ones, but reduce any extra liquid in the batter slightly to maintain consistency.

For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt and almond milk with coconut yogurt and your preferred plant-based milk.

To intensify the rosé flavor, sprinkle a little rosé wine over the glaze just before it sets on the donuts.

Storage

Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds or enjoy cold. The glaze is best fresh but can be touched up with a little extra rosé and powdered sugar if it dries out.

FAQs

Can I use regular fresh berries instead of freeze dried ones?

Yes, you can substitute fresh or frozen berries, but reduce any additional liquid in the recipe slightly to avoid a runny batter. Freeze dried berries add concentrated flavor and texture to both the batter and glaze.

Is it possible to make these donuts without alcohol?

Absolutely. You can replace the rosé with a non-alcoholic rosé substitute, white grape juice, or simply additional milk. The flavor will be milder but still delicious.
