Ingredients

Scale

Donut Batter

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (133g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted (57g))
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup buttermilk (room temperature (180ml))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150g)

Blueberry Glaze

  • ½ cup blueberries
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar (180g)
  • 24 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃ and lightly grease a donut pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk to gather the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until combined.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and fold together until almost fully combined. Be sure to scrape the whole way to the bottom.
  5. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly dispersed, then transfer the batter to a piping bag.
  6. Pipe batter: Cut 1″ off the tip of the bag and pipe the batter evenly into the donut openings.
  7. Bake: Bake for 13-18 minutes or until the donut springs back and doesn’t have any wet spots. *See notes section regarding bake time.
  8. Cool donuts: Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert the pan to remove the donuts, then flip the donuts over again.
  9. Prepare glaze – cook blueberries: If using the blueberry glaze, cook down the blueberries over medium low and carefully break them down with the back of a spoon as they begin to soften and please their juices.
  10. Strain juice: Pass the blueberries through a fine mesh sieve to capture the juice. Discard the pulp.
  11. Mix glaze base: Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of the blueberry puree, adding more later if you’d like it to be darker. Also add the vanilla.
  12. Adjust glaze consistency: Add in 1 tablespoon at a time of milk until the consistency becomes a thick glaze.
  13. Glaze donuts: Dip the round side of the donut into the glaze, then pull up, twist, and place the donut on a plate to set.

Notes

  • Bake time ranges from 13-18 minutes depending on oven and donut size; check for spring back and no wet spots to confirm doneness.
