Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined.
- Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Fill each cavity of the donut pan about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and let set on the wire rack.
Notes
- For a fun twist, you can add lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing flavor.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If using frozen blueberries, ensure they are well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
