Delightfully soft and moist baked blueberry donuts that blend the sweetness of fresh or frozen blueberries with a tender batter. These donuts are a healthier alternative to traditional fried versions, using baking as the primary cooking method, and can be made with regular or plant-based ingredients to accommodate various dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 1/4 cup melted regular or vegan butter
  • 1 1/4 cups regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups regular or gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Glaze (Optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready by the time your batter is mixed.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with milk (regular or plant-based), sugar, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir until well combined to form a smooth base.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually add the regular or gluten free all-purpose flour into the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the donuts tough.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing them.
  5. Fill Donut Molds: Grease 14 to 16 donut molds lightly. Pour the batter into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the donut molds in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the donut comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Once donuts are cooled slightly, drizzle or dip the tops in the glaze as desired.
  8. Serve: Enjoy your baked blueberry donuts fresh and warm! They are delicious on their own or with the optional glaze.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular butter and milk with vegan alternatives to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • Fresh or frozen blueberries can be used, but ensure frozen blueberries are not thawed and too watery before folding into batter.
  • Do not overfill the donut molds to prevent batter from overflowing during baking.
  • Glaze is optional and not included in the nutritional calculation.
  • Using gluten free all-purpose flour accommodates gluten sensitivities.
