  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

For the Glaze (Optional but Amazing!):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare
    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a donut pan or line it lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Bring It Together
    Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined (do not overmix).
  5. Fold in Blueberries
    Carefully fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them.
  6. Fill the Pan
    Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake to Perfection
    Bake for 15–18 minutes or until lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool Down
    Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
  9. Glaze (Optional)
    Mix glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled donuts.
