Description

Soft, fluffy baked blueberry cake donuts bursting with juicy blueberries and coated in a sweet glaze. A perfect summer treat that’s easy to make and slightly healthier than fried donuts.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (180ml) milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons (30g) melted unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease your donut pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth to make the glaze.
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze and place them back on the wire rack to set.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, in-season blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, thaw and pat them dry before adding to the batter. Tossing blueberries in a tablespoon of flour can prevent them from sinking.
