Ingredients

Scale

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.
