Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, large egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter. Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 4: Transfer the donut batter into a piping bag (or a large Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off). Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6: For an optional glaze, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk and ½ teaspoon of vanilla powder until smooth. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze, letting any excess drip off, then place them back on the wire rack for the glaze to set.
Notes
To keep your Blueberry Cake Donuts wonderfully soft, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days; they also freeze beautifully for a longer-lasting treat!
For that fresh-from-the-oven warmth, a quick 10-15 second zap in the microwave or a few minutes in a 300°F (150°C) oven will bring your donuts back to life, especially if they're unglazed!
These delightful donuts are perfect with a steaming mug of coffee or a cold glass of milk for breakfast or brunch, and a sprinkle of lemon zest on the glaze adds a bright, zesty touch!
To ensure your blueberries are beautifully dispersed and don't all sink, give frozen blueberries a quick toss with a tablespoon of your dry flour mix before gently folding them into the batter. This little trick makes a big difference!
