Strawberry Buttermilk Donuts with Strawberry Glaze

Somehow, it’s already October. Yes, that means Halloween is just around the corner, but it also means it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And, what better way to think pink than with these heavenly strawberry buttermilk donuts with strawberry glaze? Whipped up by the lovely Jessica from A Happy Food Dance, these are the very best way to start off your day.

From Jessica of A Happy Food Dance… These donuts are super light and airy, made with buttermilk and sweetened with honey and sugar.  So delicious – but my favorite part are the huge chunks of fresh strawberries. I can’t express how easy it is to make donuts.  I bought a donut pan earlier this summer and have since opened up a donut shop in my kitchen – or you would’ve thought so by the mass amounts of these cakey, baked sweets I’ve been churning out.  I especially love these because they were so airy, almost like eating strawberry shortcake.  For breakfast!
