Ingredients
Scale
Baked Blueberry Donuts Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted regular or vegan butter
- 1 ¼ cup regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups regular or gluten-free all-purpose flour (King Arthur Measure for Measure recommended for gluten-free)
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Blueberry Donut Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking your donuts evenly and thoroughly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted vegan or regular butter, milk of your choice (regular, oat, or almond), sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir these together until well blended.
- Add Flour: Gradually blend in the all-purpose flour, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter which can toughen the donuts.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute without breaking them up.
- Fill Donut Molds: Lightly grease your donut molds and carefully pour the batter into 14-16 molds, ensuring not to overfill each to allow for rising.
- Bake Donuts: Place the molds in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare Glaze (Optional): While the donuts bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth for a simple vanilla glaze.
- Cool and Glaze: Once baked, let the donuts cool slightly before optionally drizzling or dipping them in the prepared glaze for added sweetness.
Notes
- Use King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour for the gluten-free option; avoid substituting with almond or baking flour.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to maintain light and fluffy donuts.
- Donuts can be enjoyed without glaze or with the vanilla glaze for extra sweetness.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before folding into batter to prevent color bleed.
- Ensure donut molds are greased properly to facilitate easy removal after baking.
- Glaze is not included in nutritional calculations.
