Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk or sour cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare the pan: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat melted butter with milk or sour cream, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in blueberries.
- Bake: Spoon or pipe batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and glaze: Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze or drizzle over the top. Allow glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep donuts light.
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter to prevent excess coloring.
- Donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
