Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to prevent them from breaking.
  2. Preheat and prepare donut pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  3. Fill the donut pan: Spoon the batter into the donut pan cavities, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for rising during baking.
  4. Bake the donuts: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean.
  5. Cool and serve: Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • For best results use fresh blueberries to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the donuts tender and light.
  • Lightly grease the donut pan to ensure easy removal.
  • These donuts are best enjoyed fresh, though they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Optional: Add a lemon glaze or powdered sugar topping for extra sweetness.
