  • Total Time: 52 minutes
  • Yield: 6 donuts

Ingredients

Cooking spray, to grease donut pan

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon to toss blueberries

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup vanilla almond milk (or regular milk)

1 large egg

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon zest

2/3 cup frozen or fresh blueberries

1 cup icing sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease a 6-count donut pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk almond milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Toss blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold into the batter.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan.
  7. Bake for 12–13 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  10. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and place on a rack to set before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries—if using frozen, don’t thaw before adding to batter.
  • Regular milk can be substituted for almond milk.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Let donuts cool completely before glazing to avoid soaking up the glaze.
  • Adjust glaze consistency with more lemon juice or icing sugar as needed.
