Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Oil, for frying

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Coating:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.

    In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.

        Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.

          Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, carefully drop teaspoon-sized balls of batter into the hot oil. Fry the donut holes until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

            While the donut holes cool, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, pureed strawberries, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and creamy.

              Using a piping bag or a small squeeze bottle, carefully inject the cheesecake filling into the center of each donut hole.

                In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Roll each stuffed donut hole in the sugar mixture until fully coated.

                  Serve fresh and enjoy your delicious Strawberry Cheesecake Stuffed Donut Holes!
