Ingredients
Scale
For the Donuts:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cardamom (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups (9 oz) fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp (8 g) all-purpose flour (for tossing the blueberries)
- 1/2 cup (112 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (122 g) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk, at room temperature
For the Blueberry Glaze:
- 2 cups (260 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp blueberry jam
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a donut pan and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom (if using). Set aside.
- Toss the blueberries with 1 tbsp flour to coat, ensuring they don’t sink in the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Fill a piping bag with the batter and pipe it into the prepared donut pan, filling each well about ¾ full.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, blueberry jam, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Dip each donut into the glaze and let it set for 30 minutes.
Notes
- Store donuts in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a lemony twist, swap the vanilla in the glaze for lemon juice and zest.
- You can use frozen blueberries, but don’t thaw them before adding to the batter.
