Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or soy)
• 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the flour and sugar.
2. Step 2: Gradually add the plant milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
3. Step 3: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
4. Step 4: Spoon the batter into a greased or silicone donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
5. Step 5: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Step 6: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
• Swap blueberries with other berries or chopped fruits for variety.
• Use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of sugar for a different sweetness profile.
• If you want a crispier exterior, lightly brush the donuts with melted coconut oil before baking.

Storage

Store the donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven before serving to restore softness.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, frozen blueberries work well. Just fold them into the batter directly from frozen to prevent the color from bleeding too much.

Do I need a special donut pan?

A donut pan helps the donuts keep their shape, but you can also use a muffin tin as an alternative, although the shape will be round without the hole.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)

Add-ins

• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of sweetness and structure.
2. Add the wet ingredients: Pour the plant-based milk into the dry mixture and stir gently until a smooth batter forms without overmixing to keep the donuts tender.
3. Incorporate the blueberries: Carefully fold fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them apart.
4. Prepare the donut pan: Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Bake the donuts: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling each about 3/4 full, and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

• Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent the batter from turning purple and watery.
• For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
• Grease the donut pan thoroughly or use a non-stick silicone donut mold to make removal easier.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
