Full List of Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, scooped and leveled with a knife
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup milk (I used 2%)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 medium lemon zested
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.
Lightly spray the donut pan with your favorite non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk together. Then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix together but just enough until everything is mixed together. Do not overmix the batter.
Then slowly incorporate the dry into the wet ingredients. Then drizzle in the milk. Then zest a lemon into the batter.
In a small bowl, add the blueberries and flour and mix them together (this step is optional)
Add the blueberries into the batter and carefully fold them in.
A standard rule of thumb is to fill the donut pan about ¾ of the way full with donut batter.
For the best results when baking, place the pan on the middle oven rack.
Bake for 10 – 15 minutes. Test with a tester to see if they are done, if they are, remove them from the pan, if not put them back into the oven in five-minute increments.
Once they are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack or parchment paper.
While the lemon blueberry doughnuts are cooling, make the simple glaze.
Once they are done, dip the donuts into the delicious lemon glaze and grate some of the lemon zest onto the top of the donuts and serve.
Store homemade donuts covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container.*Reheat frozen donuts in the microwave for 15 seconds before enjoying them again!
For best results, fill a pastry bag or ziplock bag with the batter and use a wide tip nozzle. This method allows you to have control and pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan.
