Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, the egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze.

Step 10

Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off, then return it to the wire rack to set.

Step 11

Serve the donuts once the glaze has set, and enjoy!
