Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 1 tsp White or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup Maple syrup or agave/honey
- 3 1/2 tbsp Oil or applesauce/mashed banana
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour (all-purpose, spelt, or gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Pinch of optional spices (cardamom or cinnamon)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup Blueberries (fresh or thawed frozen)
Instructions
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vinegar, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and oil or chosen substitute (applesauce or mashed banana). Allow this mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to let the milk curdle, which helps tenderize the donuts.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and any optional spices like cardamom or cinnamon for added flavor.
- Combine mixtures: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the donuts light and fluffy.
- Add blueberries: Carefully fold 1/2 cup of fresh or thawed frozen blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without crushing.
- Bake: Spoon the batter into a donut pan, filling each cavity about halfway. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use non-dairy milk and substitute honey with agave to make the recipe vegan.
- For gluten-free donuts, opt for gluten-free flour.
- Optional spices like cinnamon or cardamom add warmth and depth, but can be omitted.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender donut texture.
- Donuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
