Something you won’t see too much of here is chocolate. Don’t get me wrong – I do like chocolate, I’m just not a huge fan of the stuff. Sure, I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and throughly enjoy chocolate chip cookies. You’ll never find me with a chocolate cupcake or scoop of chocolate ice cream.

Now that that’s out-of-the-way, let’s talk about white chocolate. A chocolate that I like more than your traditional milk or dark chocolate. And while true chocolate-devotees will say that white chocolate isn’t even chocolate, that’s fine by me. Call it what you will – I like it, I like it a lot.

 

 

And so when I was writing this recipe I wanted it to do create a healthier, baked cakey donut that wasn’t too sweet as the white chocolate and strawberry glaze would be sweet enough. Folks, we have had success.

Since white chocolate is oh-so-sweet, I tried to make a donut that was not-so-sweet. To do so, I used organic coconut sugar instead of traditional white sugar. This also gave the donuts a nice brown color. I also added some organic strawberry powder, made from crushed organic freeze-dried strawberries, into the batter to amp up the overall strawberry flavor.

I was initially inspired by the strawberry powder to create a pretty pink glaze for Valentine’s Day and am so happy with the end result! Hope they make your day just a little sweeter.
