Baked Blueberry Donuts

We love our healthy donut recipes on here. We’ve had the classic healthy baked donuts, copycat Krispy Kreme donuts, and the glazed raspberry donuts!

With blueberry season in full swing, adding blueberries was next!

I am obsessed with making these blueberry donuts because they need 5 ingredients to make! Granted, if you make the paleo/keto option, there are a couple more, but it is still foolproof.

Although they are made without yeast and completely eggless, they taste like delicious donut cakes- tender on the outside, ultra fluffy on the inside! 

How to make baked blueberry donuts

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Coat a 12 count donut pan (or 2 6-count ones!) generously with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine all your ingredients, except for the blueberries, and mix well. Fold through half the blueberries. 
• Pour the blueberry donut batter into a large ziplock bag. Cut a corner of the bag and squeeze out the donut batter into the donut pan, filling about 2/3 of the way through. Top with remaining blueberries.
• Bake the donuts for 12-15 minutes, or until they spring back slightly and a skewer comes out clean from the center.
• Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once cool, generously spread the donuts with the glaze.

How to make blueberry donuts keto and paleo

Easily make these blueberry donuts keto and paleo friendly, with a few easy swaps!

Instead of using self-rising flour and maple syrup, you will use almond flour and a granulated monk fruit sweetener. 

There is also the addition of eggs and apple cider vinegar but like the original recipe, the ingredients are minimal- You will still have delicious keto and paleo blueberry donuts! 

Storing baked donuts

Room temperature

You can store blueberry baked donuts at room temperature, provided you intend to eat them within 2 days. Keeping them out any longer will see the donuts begin to get soggy. 

Ensure the baked blueberry donuts are kept in a sealed container or covered in plastic wrap. 

Refrigerator

Blueberry donuts are best stored in the fridge and will keep well for up to 5 days. Ensure the donuts are in a sealed container or well covered.

To enjoy donuts from the fridge, allow sitting at room temperature for around 30 minutes. 

Freezer 

Baked blueberry donuts are freezer friendly and will keep well frozen. Simply wrap each donut in parchment paper and place in a ziplock bag. 

Once ready to enjoy, allow to thaw at room temperature or overnight in the fridge. You can also heat them up slightly, either in the microwave or toaster oven.

Frozen blueberry donuts will keep for 6 months. 

Can I make blueberry donuts without a donut pan

For those of you who don’t have a donut pan, you can easily make them using a muffin tin! Simply follow the directions as the donuts, but fill the muffin tins up 3/4 to the top. The “muffins” will be done once a skewer comes out clean, around 13-15 minutes.
