Mini Blueberry Donut Recipe (Baked not Fried)!

Mini Blueberry Donut Recipe (Baked)

I just found Blueberries on sale for $1.50 per container at Fred Meyers this week, and it made me think of this healthier version of a Blueberry Donut (its baked not fried)!

I love to find great recipes to use fresh blueberries in this time of the  year. If you are looking for a real treat for your blueberries, try these Mini Blueberry Donuts. They are so good fresh out of the oven, and we even have a recipe to add your own glaze over the donuts. It does not get much better then this! The fact that these are mini doughnuts is perfect, because they are so good I find it hard to control myself.

My other favorite thing about these blueberry donuts is that they are baked and not fried. It will require that you have a mini donut pan (costs around what buying a dozen donuts will, so may be a good investment if you like them). If you want more recipe inspiration, check out this Kindle book with 100 baked donut recipes (free if you have Kindle Unlimited)

They are best with fresh blueberries, but you could use frozen too. You will just want to make sure they are thawed and drained.

Making these mini blueberry donuts is as simple as mixing the dry ingredients.

And the wet ingredients

And the blueberries
And once its all mixed together you will pipe your mix into the donut pan to bake up.
A little glaze, and some sprinkled sugar (optional) and they are ready to enjoy!
