Description
These baked blueberry donuts are a light, fluffy treat, bursting with sweet blueberries, offering a healthier twist on traditional fried donuts.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To make lemon blueberry donuts, add the zest of one lemon to the batter.
- For extra sweetness, drizzle the donuts with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk after baking.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and butter.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Frozen blueberries can be used, but fold them in gently to avoid crushing them.
- If you don’t have a donut pan, use a muffin tin instead, adjusting the baking time as necessary.
