Equipment

  • 1 Donut pan 
  • 1 Wire rack/cooling rack
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Separate bowl: large and small
  • 1 Piping bag
  • paper towels, plastic wrap, and parchment paper For easy cleanup and storage

Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup milk room temperature
  • 8 tablespoons butter 1 stick, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup blueberries

For icing

  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease two doughnut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk until well combined. 
  • Add the butter, and stir to combine.
  • Stir dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. 
  • Lightly mash blueberries with a potato masher. We don’t want them completely pulverized, but we don’t want whole berries, either.
  • Gently fold berries into the donut batter. Don’t over mix.
  • Pour the batter into a piping bag and use it to pipe the batter into the doughnut pans. 
  • Bake the donuts until they are golden brown and spring back, around 18 to 20 minutes. 
  • Allow the donuts to cool for about 5 minutes in the pan. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and milk until smooth. 
  • Lightly dip each donut in the glaze, placing it on the wire cooling rack until the glaze hardens.
