Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Main Flavor

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed and drained if frozen)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure out all ingredients beforehand. If using frozen blueberries, make sure to thaw and drain them to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and sweetness.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. The wet mixture will provide moisture and richness to the donuts.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing gently until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough donuts, so stir until you no longer see dry flour.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly spread without crushing them to maintain bursts of flavor.
  6. Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter into a lightly greased donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh or well-drained frozen blueberries to prevent batter from becoming soggy and maintain donut integrity.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep donuts tender and avoid a dense texture.
  • Grease the pan thoroughly to make removing the donuts easy and keep their shape intact.
  • Bake until golden for a crispy outside while keeping the inside moist.
  • Cool slightly before glazing; warm donuts are ideal for glazing, but too hot will cause the glaze to melt away.
