Homemade Blueberry Donuts

These homemade blueberry donuts are baked, not fried, making them a lighter yet still indulgent treat. Whether you’re enjoying them with a cup of coffee in the morning or as a sweet afternoon snack, they’re sure to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients

For the donuts:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup whole milk (or buttermilk)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan
     Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
     In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients
     In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix the Batter
     Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill the Donut Pan
     Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
  6. Bake
     Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  7. Make the Glaze
     In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Glaze the Donuts
     Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops in the glaze or drizzle it over them. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

  9. Tips & Variations

     ✔️ Use buttermilk for extra fluffiness.
     ✔️ Swap fresh blueberries for freeze-dried for less moisture.
     ✔️ Add a hint of lemon zest for a citrusy kick.
