Delight in these moist and fluffy baked blueberry doughnuts, bursting with fresh blueberries and topped with a light dusting of powdered sugar. This quick and easy recipe uses wholesome ingredients and baking instead of frying, making it a healthier treat perfect for breakfast or snacks.

  • Total Time: 24 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F to ensure it’s ready for baking the doughnuts evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set this mixture aside as it forms the base for your doughnut batter.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step helps create a tender texture.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the large egg, buttermilk, and vanilla bean paste until fully combined, ensuring the wet ingredients are well incorporated with the creamed butter and sugar.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can toughen the doughnuts.
  6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter carefully to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart.
  7. Fill Doughnut Pan: Spoon the batter into a greased and floured doughnut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  8. Bake Doughnuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 14 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, indicating they are cooked through.
  9. Cool and Dust: Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finish.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to keep the doughnuts tender.
  • Fresh blueberries provide the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
  • Ensure the doughnut pan is well greased and floured to prevent sticking.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute the buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with lemon juice or vinegar.
  • Doughnuts are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
