Is it donut or doughnut? I’m pretty sure it’s the later, but since we’re not making a “dough” I’ll call it a donut. Glad we worked that out!

How To Enjoy Baked Blueberry Donuts

  • Enjoy your morning coffee with a side of freshly baked blueberry donuts.
  • These blueberry donuts would be delicious served with homemade lemonade.

Gathering Your Ingredients

  • Avocado Oil – Any neutral flavored oil would work like olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil.
  • Milk – Use any milk that you prefer. Nut milks like unsweetened vanilla almond milk or cashew milk would be great.
  • Sour Cream – I really enjoy the Daisy brand as the only ingredient is cream!
  • Egg – Room temperature eggs will blend easier into the donut mixture.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract
  • White Granulated Sugar
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Cinnamon – I like to use cinnamon to add just a hint of warmth. If you’re looking for more of a summery vibe, replace the cinnamon with lemon zest.
  • Fresh Blueberries – Use fresh or frozen blueberries, purely preference. If using frozen berries, i like to thaw, rinse, and dry them off before putting into the mix.

Donut Glaze

  • Powdered Sugar
  • Blueberry Jam – In a pinch you could use blueberry jelly, the texture of jam is much more forgiving and mixes easier than jelly.
  • Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Milk – Use your preferred milk, water, or lemon juice.

Kitchen Supplies I Use

How To Make Baked Blueberry Donuts

Preheat your oven to 350 F and prepare your donut pans with nonstick baking spray.

In a large bowl sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.

To the same bowl, add the avocado oil, milk, sour cream, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar. 

Mix everything until just combined. Try not to overmix.

Fold in the fresh blueberries.

Use a large piping bag or Ziploc bag to put your donut mixture in. This will make filling the donut pan SO much easier, and cleaner. 

Cut the tip of the bag off and pipe each section with a ring of donut batter. Cut the tip wide enough for the blueberries to pass through.

Bake for 10-15 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Prepare the blueberry glaze topping.

To a small bowl add the powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla, and milk. Stir the donut glaze to combine. Use extra milk or blueberry jam for thinning if necessary.

Once cooled, dip donuts and set them on a wire rack with a towel under it to catch any drippage.

Storage Recommendations for Homemade Donuts

Freshly Baked Blueberry Doughnuts: Once the donuts have completely cooled, store them in an airtight container. Store baked donuts at room temperature for up to 3 days, and even longer in the refrigerator but may lose some moisture.

Freezing Blueberry Donuts: Place cooled donuts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer frozen donuts to a freezer safe bag and store them in the freezer for 2 months. To enjoy after freezing, let thaw at room temperature before eating.

Recipe Variations:

  • Replace blueberries with another summer fruit like strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries for another flavor.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in any batter that requires it to create a light moist texture.
  • Swap out regular flour for almond flour or oat flour for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Use a donut hole pan.
  • Top with a zesty lemon glaze.

Recipe FAQs:

What if I don’t have a donut pan?

You can still enjoy homemade baked donuts without a donut pan. Pour your donut batter into a regular or mini muffin pan. Bake until golden.

Expert Tips

  • Before dipping donuts into the glaze, swirl extra blueberry jam into the glaze for a marble effect.
  • Let donuts cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the doughnut pan.
