How to Make Blueberry Donuts

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup granulated sugar
½ tsp kosher salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cake flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup buttermilk

For the Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Bake the Donuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease silicone donut pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla, about 2 mins.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add the whole egg and egg yolk to the mixer and cream until just blended.

Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting with flour and ending with the flour mixture. Mix on low-medium speed, scraping down the sides as needed.

Turn the mixer off and, using a spatula, gently fold in the blueberries into the donut batter.

Fill a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the batter. Pipe the batter into the donut cavities, not more than 2/3 of the way full. Any more and the batter will rise over the centerpiece and it will be hard to make the perfect donut.

Bake in the preheated oven for a cook time of 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the donuts spring back when touched.

Allow your blueberry cake donuts to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool fully to room temperature.

Make the Donut Glaze

Combine the powdered sugar, milk, salt and vanilla in a bowl. Whisk until the consistency is smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Dip the cooled donuts in the glaze, shaking off any excess and placing on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

How to Make baked lemon blueberry donuts

Add ½ teaspoon of lemon juice or lemon zest to the glaze for baked blueberry muffins to make a lemon glaze.

I don’t have buttermilk, what else can I use?

You can also use sour cream instead of buttermilk in these donuts! Making your own buttermilk is easy and much cheaper than buying it! Stir a tablespoon of vinegar into a cup of whole milk.

Why should I use cake flour and not all purpose flour?

You should use cake flour when making cakes and other baked goods with a delicate consistency. All-purpose or regular flour does not produce the best results in terms of texture and produces a tender crumb.

Can I use frozen blueberries in place of fresh wild blueberries for this recipe?

Yes and you’ll never know the difference in the blueberry flavor. There is no need to thaw your frozen berries. They are the perfect solution.

How to Store Your Donuts

Store your donuts in an airtight container before glazing to ensure they won’t get soggy and you can enjoy them at their best. You’ll be able to keep the deliciousness for 2-3 days, but it’s recommended that you eat one straight from the oven on day 1!
