You don’t need a vat of oil to make doughnuts at home. These baked strawberry-ginger glazed doughnuts are just as good as their fried cousins.
I know that I’m late to the party for National Doughnut Day but these babies were worth the wait. I adore blueberry glazed doughnuts so after picking several pounds of strawberries when my mom and step dad came to visit it just seemed like the logical next step. Granted, I first made a batch of homemade strawberry syrup but that was just with the ugly ones.
To sweeten the deal I added some ginger which added just a little zing to the sweetness. You too can get your hands on some ginger and a slew of other herbs by entering my giveaway for a package of Gourmet Garden! This is actually a belated giveaway that was supposed to be paired up with #FreshTastyValentines but slipped through the cracks. Valentine’s Day in June anyone?

Love baked donuts! And adding strawberries? Perfect for summer! And you have a chocolate PB version too???!!! Thank you!
My pleasure, enjoy!
These look amazing, and I love your addition of ginger. Brilliant!
Thanks for the awesome recipe ;-)
These really look good. I got out my donut pans to try this one out.
Woohoo! Let me know how they turn out.
I like spices more, honestly, but I also like ginger and tarragon.
Bethany, they have all kinds of spices including basil, oregano, and pretty much every other that I use on a regular basis.
Love the strawberry ginger combo!
OHHHHHH! Herbs! I love cilantro in salsa!
I use basil a lot. I do not care for cilantro or parsley, so I always sub basil. It is a tasty substitute in guacamole.
My favorite herb to cook with is basil. I like to sprinkle it on the top of recipes.
