Ingredients You Need
Easy Baked Blueberry Donut Recipe
- all-purpose flour
- sugar of choice, granulated, brown or healthy sugar, like monk fruit
- baking powder
- salt
- milk of choice, buttermilk, Greek yogurt or sour cream can also be used, I used almond milk (Pro tip: If using Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of milk, substitute the milk in an equal amount. Or, if you prefer a more liquid batter, thin out with a bit of water.)
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- melted butter or oil of choice
- blueberries, fresh or frozen
Powdered Sugar Glaze Recipe
- powdered sugar, or monk fruit powdered sugar
- milk of choice
- vanilla extract
How to Make Delectable Glazed Blueberry Donuts
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two 6-cup donut pans or a 12-cup muffin pan or 1- 6 cup donut pan and 1- 12 mini donut pan, set aside. If making just mini donuts, you’ll get 24 minis.
Prep Donut Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
- In another mixing bowl stir together milk, eggs, vanilla and butter/oil until well combined. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until combined, careful not to over mix the donut batter.
- Gently fold or mix in the blueberries to the dough.
- Place batter in large plastic bag with end cut off about ½”. Fill donut cavities about ¾” full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the dough springs back when poked for regular doughnuts, or 10-12 minutes for mini doughnuts.
- Let donuts cool in pan for 10 minutes before gently inverting pan and taking donuts out.
- While donuts are cooling, whisk glaze ingredients together. When donuts are cooled completely, dip tops of donut into.
Make Glaze
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk together in a shallow bowl until smooth. Dip the donuts into the icing, one at a time. Serve and enjoy!
Helpful Tip: If not eating right away after baking, store unglazed donuts in an airtight container to ensure they don’t get soggy. Then easily glaze them a few minutes before eating.
Donut Tips
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly, or once baked, you might end up with dense donuts. Just fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
- If you’re wanting a tangy batter, use buttermilk. You can also use Greek yogurt or sour cream instead of milk, just by substituting the milk in an equal amount. Or, if you prefer a more liquid batter, thin out with a bit of water or milk.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as overmixing can cause the donuts to become tough and if you’re using frozen blueberries, overmixing can cause the blueberries to discolor the batter.
- Optional: You can bring the milk and eggs out to room temperature before combining. This prevents you from over-mixing the batter and helpt the donuts to bake evenly.
- Do not fill your donut pan with too much donut batter, because the donuts will need a little room to rise. I like to put the batter in a pastry bag and pipe it into the donut cavities, it’s way easier than spooning it into the cavity. You could use a large ziplock bag and snip a hole in one of the corners to pipe, if you don’t have a pastry bag.
- Make sure the donuts are as cool as possible before dipping them in the powdered sugar glaze, otherwise the glaze will not set up nicely and melt off the donuts.
- After donuts are done baking, you could also place them in an airfryer for a minute or two to brown them up before glazing them so they taste more like they’re fried.
More Topping Options
- You could mix up either a powdered sugar glaze, like I did, or you could coat them with powdered sugar for a different option or eat them plain! Add some lemon juice or zest to the glaze for more summertime blueberry lemon flavor!
- You can also grab a tub of vanilla frosting and melt it in the microwave for 20-25 seconds and use that as a glaze option for dipping your donuts. Or just frost them with vanilla or a lemon frosting if you want with some sprinkles on top!
Storing Blueberry Cake Donuts
- Donuts will store for 2-3 days but best eaten the day of. If not eating right away, store unglazed donuts in an airtight container to ensure they don’t get soggy. Then easily glaze them a few minutes before eating.
How To Keep Glazed Donuts From Getting Soggy
- Store donuts in an airtight container should be enough to keep the donuts moist with a light and airy texture. Take care to place the donuts in a cool place away from the sunlight.
