Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp blueberry juice or puree
  • 1 tbsp milk as needed for consistency

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 6-cavity donut pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Fold in the blueberries.
  • Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe into the prepared donut pans, filling each cavity ¾ full.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and blueberry juice. Add milk a teaspoon at a time until smooth and dippable.
  • Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze and return to the wire rack to set.
