Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Gently fold the eggs into the dry ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  2. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
  3. Fill the Donut Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan and evenly spoon the batter into each donut cavity, filling about three-quarters full.
  4. Bake the Donuts: Place the donut pan in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean and the donuts feel tender but firm.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and tender.
  • If using frozen blueberries, fold them in directly from frozen to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  • Grease the donut pan well to ensure easy removal of the donuts.
  • Optional: Dust the cooled donuts with powdered sugar or glaze with a simple lemon icing for extra flavor.
