Baked Blueberry Donuts

Healthy Fact of the Day

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamin C, making these donuts a more nutritious sweet treat. Baking instead of frying reduces oil content while maintaining that classic donut texture.

These Baked Blueberry Donuts bring bakery-style sweetness to your Sweet Sundae with their tender, cake-like texture and bursts of fresh blueberries throughout. They’re easy to make in a donut pan and perfect for weekend breakfast treats or afternoon snacks. Light, fluffy, and studded with antioxidant-rich berries, they’re a healthier twist on the classic fried version.

If you love fruity breakfast treats, you’ll also enjoy our Lemon Blueberry Breakfast Cake with its similar berry-forward flavors and moist texture. For another handheld morning favorite, try the Blueberry Buttermilk Pancake Casserole—it captures those same comforting blueberry-vanilla notes in an easy make-ahead format.

    • 0.5 cup milk

    • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1 egg

    • 1 cup fresh blueberries

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a donut pan with baking spray or butter.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    The Strange and Brilliant Science of Why Food Browns

    While the Maillard reaction produces hundreds of desirable flavor compounds, it also produces small amounts of acrylamide — a compound that forms when starchy foods are cooked at high temperatures and that has been flagged in ongoing research for potential health considerations. Keeping browning controlled — achieving a deep golden color rather than a dark brown or black exterior on starchy foods like bread, potatoes, and cereals — significantly reduces acrylamide formation while preserving the flavor benefits of the reaction. The practical guidance is simple: golden, not dark.
