Baked Blueberry Donuts

Our Homemade Blueberry Donuts are soft and loaded with lots of fresh blueberries. They are baked, not fried and made with simple ingredients. We make our homemade donuts in a doughnut pan, but don't worry if you don't have one because they can also be made in a muffin tin.

Notes

To make blueberry muffins
If you don't have a doughnut pan these can be made in a muffin pan, divide doughnut batter between 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray, or use paper liners, and bake for 21-23 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack for a couple of minutes, take out of the pan and cool completely. If not using cupcake liners slide a knife down around the edges of the muffins to loosen them from the pan. Glaze the same as you would the blueberry doughnuts, but you can will only need to make half of the glaze.
