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