Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan well with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the milk, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the fresh blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to a piping bag (or use a spoon) and fill each donut cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the baked donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice, and hot water in a bowl. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and slightly thick.

Step 11

Once the donuts are completely cool, dip them into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back on the wire rack to set.

Step 12

Enjoy these delicious blueberry donuts fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
