Blueberry Donuts

Fluffy Cake Donuts

Any fruity dessert is always a win in my eyes. I’ve been obsessed with everything blueberry so obviously had to make blueberry donuts. I added the addition of a drizzle of melted white chocolate on top and they turned out SO delicious!

I love that these donuts are light and fluffy and not super sugary. They are perfect for the spring and summer time. They are definitely a crowd pleaser.

When making donuts, I always use a silicone donut pan. These make it way easier to remove the donuts and you don’t have to worry about them getting stuck in the pan. I got mine on Amazon.

TIP: before adding the blueberries to the batter, coat them in all-purpose flour. You only need about a tablespoon. This prevents the blueberries from all sinking to the bottom. It also helps the batter not turn purple if you are using frozen blueberries.

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. If you prefer oil, that should work too. Make sure it is melted oil and butter.

Sugar: any granulated sugar will work. I used coconut sugar to keep it refined sugar free. Make sure it is GRANLUATED (white, brown, monk fruit, etc.) not liquid.

Blueberries: you can use fresh or frozen. If you prefer a different fruit, any will work.

White chocolate: the drizzle is optional, but I would definitely recommend. I find my vegan white chocolate on Amazon, any will work.

I would not recommend substituting the flours in this recipe. They each work together to create the perfect fluffy texture. I haven’t tested any other flours.

If you don’t want to use the white chocolate drizzle on this, a glaze would also be really good. You can just combine powdered sugar and nondairy milk to make it. A vanilla frosting would also be really good.

This recipe is pretty versatile as well. The batter is just a base, and you can add in whatever you want. Chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, etc.
