Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries halved
  • 1 cup dry oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1 TBSP melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 TBSP vanilla extract
  • 1 TSP baking powder
  • 1/4 TSP salt
  • Sprinkles optional {I used naturally colored ones}

For the frosting:

  • 1/4 cup + 2 TBSP dairy free cream cheese such as Go Veggie or Daiya brands {can of course use regular cream cheese for non-vegan donuts}
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 TBSP strawberry preserves
  • 1/2 TSP vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 6-serving donut pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the oats in a food processor and process until they're mostly ground.
  • Add in the cashew butter, whole wheat pastry flour, melted coconut oil, almond milk, cane sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is evenly combined into a batter.
  • Add in the halved strawberries and pulse for about 10 seconds, or just until the strawberries are broken into small chunks and the batter starts to turn a pinkish color.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts start to look golden brown and firm.
  • While the donuts are baking, prepare the frosting: Place the cream cheese, strawberry preserves, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in the food processor (You may need to use a smaller processor bowl if you processor is pretty large). Process until smooth and creamy. Place in the fridge to slightly chill.
  • Once the donuts are done baking, allow them to slightly cool in the donut pan, then carefully transfer them from the donut pan to a cooling rack.
  • After the donuts cool completely, frost them with a butter knife and top each with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Notes

The donuts keep best stored in the refrigerator.
