Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed—don't overmix! For Baked Donuts: Pipe batter into a greased donut pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. For Fried Donuts: Heat oil in a deep fryer or pot to 350°F (175°C), then fry donuts until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Crush Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries, then mix with melted butter until combined.

Dip each cooled donut into the strawberry glaze, allowing excess to drip off. Sprinkle with strawberry crunch topping while the glaze is still wet. Top with fresh strawberry halves for the final touch!
# Notes:

For extra flavor, add a drop of strawberry extract to the glaze.

Make it fluffier by replacing half of the milk with buttermilk.
