Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or flour a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar ensuring they are well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Make the batter: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to distribute them evenly.
  5. Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. 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

  • Fresh blueberries can be substituted with frozen ones; just thaw and drain excess moisture to prevent soggy batter.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • Donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Try dusting with powdered sugar or glazing with a simple icing for added sweetness.
