Description
Soft, fluffy, and bursting with juicy blueberries, these baked blueberry donuts are a healthier and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients
For the donuts:
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 (or milk + 1/2 tsp vinegar)
1 egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Spoon or pipe batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until donuts spring back when touched.
Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
While donuts cool, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze.
Dip cooled donuts into glaze or drizzle over the top. Let set before serving.
Notes
Use mini donut pans for bite-sized treats (reduce baking time by 2–3 minutes).
Frozen blueberries may bleed slightly into the batter — toss in a bit of flour before folding in to reduce this.
Optional: add lemon zest to the batter or glaze for a bright citrus twist.
