- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
- 2⅔ cup self rising flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray your donut pans with non-stick spray or grease with butter.
- Add the sugar, vegetable oil and melted butter to a large bowl and mix until well combined.
- Next add in the eggs, vanilla, milk, lemon juice and lemon zest and mix until blended.
- Then add in the flour and stir until combined.
- Coat the blueberries in a spoonful of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom then carefully fold in the blueberries.
- Using either a piping bag or large spoon, pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the tops are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in pan for about 10 minutes.
- While donuts are cooling prepare the glaze.
- For the glaze add the powdered sugar and 4 tbsp. of lemon juice to a bowl and mix together until combined.
- The glaze needs to be just a little thick to coat the donuts. If it’s too thick then add a little more lemon juice.
- Dip the top of each donut into the glaze, letting the glaze fall over the sides and place on a wire rack to allow glaze to harden for a few minutes.
