Ingredients
Lemon Blueberry Glazed Donuts
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter – melted
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- lemon zest from 1 lemon
- 1 cup milk
- 2 2/3 cup self rising flour
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
Icing:
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees – spray the wells of a donut pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, add the sugar, vegetable oil and melted butter and mix until well combined. Add in the eggs, vanilla, milk and lemon zest and mix again.
- Add in the flour and mix until combined.
- Fold in the blueberries, carefully. I coated the blueberries in a spoonful of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
- Using a large Ziploc bag or a piping bag, scoop the batter into the bag and cut a good 1/2 inch to an inch off the corner of your bag. You want the opening to be large enough to fit blueberries through.
- Pipe the batter into the 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 comes out clean. Set to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan, and then cool the donuts on a cooling rack completely before glazing.
Preparing the glaze:
- In a bowl, add the powdered sugar and 4 tbsp. of lemon juice and mix together until combined. You want the glaze to be just a little thick so it coats the donuts and sticks. If it’s too thick then add a little more lemon juice. Take a donut and dip the top of it into the glaze, letting the glaze fall over the sides and set aside to harden up. Enjoy!
