Baked Blueberry Donuts with Blueberry Glaze

Every time I bake these blueberry donuts they disappear in 2 minutes flat! These donuts are fresh, fluffy, moist, and so fruity! Delicious fresh blueberries are used for this easy baked blueberry donut recipe and a simple blueberry glaze!

If you have ever wondered how to make easy baked blueberry donuts at home then this is the perfect recipe for you. I personally like baking donuts, it’s a lot healthier and easier than frying donuts. I don’t know about you but recipes that are too time consuming and fiddly are not my cup of tea. Bring on easy and quick donuts!

Tips for the best blueberry donuts and blueberry glaze

• You do need a donut pan for these baked donuts! You can find them at most home stores for pretty cheap or there are plenty online. I use a Wilton non-stick pan because I prefer the non-stick but honestly any type will do!

• Use fresh blueberries, the water content in frozen blueberries will not work well with the donut batter.

• The batter is very thick, I developed it this way to soak up the blueberry juices! You can use a teaspoon (what I use) or a pipping bag to fill the donut cavity in the donut baking trays.
