Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute frozen, thawed and drained)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the plant milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Form Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep donuts tender.
  5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill Donut Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the donut pan cavities, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
  7. Bake Donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid soggy batter.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • Donuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
