Skinny Baked Strawberry Bird Nest Donuts

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 6 large donuts

Ingredients

for the donuts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ cup skimmed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable/sunflower oil
  • 6 large fresh strawberries chopped into small pieces

for the topping

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • crushed up All-Bran cereal
  • 18 Cadbury chocolate mini eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 430F/220C and grease six moulds of a donut pan lightly with butter.
  • In one bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Crack in the egg and pour in the milk, oil and chopped up strawberries.
  • Beat the mixture for a couple of minutes until all the ingredients are combined. Don't over-mix or you'll end up with tough donuts.
  • Scoop or pipe the mixture evenly into the six moulds and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes, until the donuts are puffed up and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Pop the donuts out of the pan and leave to cool on a wire rack for at least one hour.
  • When cooled, mix the powdered sugar and water together in a wide, shallow bowl. In turn, dip one side of each donut into the powdered sugar-water mix then dip into the crushed up All-Bran cereal. Place three chocolate mini eggs into the centre of each donut and enjoy.

Notes

These donuts store well at room temperature or in the fridge inside a sealed container for up to five days.
