Pumpkin Strawberry Doughnuts Recipe

Monday, April 21, 2014 by Lolli 27 Comments

This recipe for pumpkin strawberry doughnuts is brought to you by Libby’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

Think pumpkin is just for the Fall and pumpkin pies? Think again! 

Think pumpkin is just for the fall and pumpkin pie? Think again! These pumpkin strawberry donuts are perfect all year long. Moist and delicious - good for breakfast or dessert!

Think pumpkin can't be enjoyed year-round? Pumpkin Can! Not only is pumpkin delicious ANY time of the year (for much more than your typical holiday pie) but pumpkin literally is a superfood that can add both deliciousness and nutritional value to sweet AND savory dishes year-round.

I took the Pumpkin Can challenge – are you ready to join me? Keep reading below to find out how #PumpkinCan can help you win a Vitamix Blender as well as provide tons of ideas for using pumpkins in your recipes!

Here are just a few of the amazing benefits of pumpkin:

  • good source of fiber and a great source of Vitamin A
  • packed with Beta Carotene
  • can reduce the fat in some of your favorite recipes (use it as a replacement for butter, oil, or even eggs!)
  • can be added to jarred or prepared sauces to reduce sodium per serving
  • can be used as a substitute in your favorite recipes to reduce calories 

Tip: Leftover pumpkin can be stored in the freezer so it ready whenever you want it. Just freeze scoops of pumpkin puree in an ice cube tray then "pop" them into a freezer bag for later use.

I love baking with Libby’s Pumpkin. In an effort to be creative in the kitchen and think outside the "pumpkin box" I decided to incorporate two favorite flavors – pumpkin and strawberry – into one delicious baked good. Pumpkin is typically eaten in the fall, and strawberry is typically eaten in the summer. How would they taste paired together?

The answer? Better than any of us could have ever imagined!

Ready for the recipe? I will be making these pumpkin-strawberry donuts again and again….and I'm already brainstorming ways I can add pumpkin to some of my favorite savory dishes. (I'm currently itching to try adding a can of Libby’s Pumpkin to my next recipe of BBQ chicken in the crock pot!).

 Instructions:

  1. 1 – Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease doughnut pan(s).
  2. 2 – In a large mixing bowl, beat together applesauce, oil, eggs, sugar, pumpkin, and spices.
  3. 3 – In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to bowl with wet ingredients and stir gently until combined. Fold in strawberries.
  4. 4 – Spoon batter into greased doughnut pans. Fill approximately 3/4 full. Bake at 350° for about 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
  5. 5 – Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a butter knife and remove to a cooling rack. 
  6. 6 – Melt butter in a small bowl. Mix cinnamon and sugar in another small bowl. Dip or brush both sides of doughnuts in the butter and then the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure that you cover all of the sides.
  7. 7 – Enjoy and bask in the amazing combination of strawberry and pumpkin!
