Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup melted regular or vegan butter
  • 1 1/4 cup regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups regular or gluten free all-purpose flour

Add-ins

  • 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 the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your blueberry donuts.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, milk of choice (regular, oat, or almond), baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour (regular or gluten free) into the wet mixture and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to distribute them without breaking the berries.
  5. Prepare donut molds: Grease 14-16 donut molds lightly to prevent sticking. Carefully spoon or pour the batter into each mold, filling them but avoiding overfilling to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the donuts: Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the donuts are lightly golden.
  7. Optional glazing: If desired, prepare the vanilla glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled donuts. Note that the glaze is optional and not included in nutritional calculations.

Notes

  • For vegan donuts, use vegan butter and plant-based milk options.
  • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw to prevent the batter from turning purple and watery.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Grease donut molds well to ensure easy removal.
  • Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • The glaze adds sweetness but can be omitted for a lower sugar option.
