Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup whole milk

1 large egg (room temperature)

2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Zest of 1 lemon

3/4 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Make the Donut Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. You can also use a piping bag to make filling the pan easier and cleaner.
  4. Bake the Donuts: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the donuts cool slightly in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
  5. Make the Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled donuts.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. These donuts can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Add-ins: You can add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts, like walnuts or almonds, for added texture.

Coconut: Try adding a tablespoon of shredded coconut to the batter for a tropical twist.

Different Fruit: Swap out the blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or even chopped strawberries for a different flavor profile.
