Ingredients
Donuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk and vinegar
- 1/3 cup melted butter Make sure it is cooled
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries Do not thaw frozen blueberries
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk Add until smooth
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or use a silicone mold for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until all ingredients are well-blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Slowly add the wet ingredient mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway full.
Baking
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly touched.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Glazing
- While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar with a little milk until smooth.
- Drizzle over the donuts when they are cool.
Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing the batter. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate for a longer shelf life. Donuts can be frozen for up to three months.
