BAKED LEMON BLUEBERRY DONUTS

Ever since the first time I made baked donuts, I’ve been completely in love with them.  As much as I love a fried donut, they’re also super heavy and not exactly what I want to eat for breakfast first thing in the morning.  While these baked donuts aren’t exactly health food, they’re a little bit lighter and also incredibly easy to make.

Baked donuts are cakeier and a little dense, but they taste absolutely delicious.  I’ve made several baked donut recipes over the last few years, but I wanted to make a lemony one this time around.  Because it’s January and freezing cold outside, I think we could all use a sweet lemony treat in our lives right about now.  Since so many of you love the lemon berry desserts on my site, I settled on these Lemon Blueberry Baked Donuts.

Ingredients

• For the lemon blueberry donuts:
• 1 cup (125 grams) all purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup (80ml) milk
• 1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• For the lemon glaze:
• 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) fresh lemon juice or milk

Instructions

1. To make the donuts:
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 8 cavities in a donut pan (or pans) well with non-stick cooking spray. If using a 6-count donut pan, you will need to bake in separate batches. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the milk, sugar, egg, butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla until fully combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, making sure not to over mix the batter. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
