Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 1/4 cup melted regular or vegan butter
  • 1 1/4 cup regular milk, oat milk, or almond milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cup regular or gluten free all-purpose flour
  • 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready when the batter is prepared.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter (regular or vegan), milk (regular, oat, or almond), vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Whisk these together until well blended.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free) to the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the donuts tough.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
  5. Fill Donut Molds: Lightly grease 14 to 16 donut molds and fill each mold with batter, being careful not to overfill to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake Donuts: Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Prepare Glaze (Optional): While donuts bake, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. This glaze can be drizzled over cooled donuts for extra sweetness, though the donuts are delicious without it.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the donuts cool in the molds for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cool, optionally drizzle with glaze and serve.

Notes

  • You can use regular or vegan butter and milk substitutes such as oat or almond milk to suit dietary needs.
  • Frozen blueberries should be added to batter while still frozen to prevent color bleeding.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts light and fluffy.
  • Donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Glazing is optional and not included in the nutritional information.
