Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a donut pan ensuring all cavities are coated to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is incorporated without overmixing to keep the batter light and airy.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, mixing gently to avoid breaking them and coloring the batter.
- Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about halfway to allow room to rise during baking.
- Bake the Donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the donuts turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Donuts: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth to form a glaze.
- Glaze the Donuts: Drizzle the glaze over the warm donuts before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh blueberries as frozen may release too much moisture and affect batter texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts tender and light.
- Allow donuts to cool slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
- You can substitute whole milk with buttermilk for a slight tangy flavor.
- Ensure to grease the donut pan thoroughly to easily remove donuts after baking.
