Easy Buttermilk Glazed Blueberry Doughnuts Recipe

Homemade doughnuts are fun to make and many are deep fried. I don’t mind a deep fried doughnut at all but, sometimes a baked doughnut can satisfy our sweet cravings with much easier prep, clean-up and calories. This recipe starts with creamed butter and sugar much like a cake giving an incredibly tender crumb to the texture. To give them the classic shape you will need doughnut pans available almost everywhere now at big box stores like Target and Walmart as well as specialty kitchen stores and craft stores such as Michael’s and A.C. Moore. They typically come standard with 6 cavities, but who on earth only wants 6 doughnuts? My family would have those eaten before they’ve had time to cool!

Blueberries- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 teaspoon flour.
Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Wet Ingredients – Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts. Add the eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
Combine – Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl periodically beating just until fully combined. Fold in the blueberries by hand until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the Batter – Fill the doughnut cavities 2/3 full using a large Ziploc bag with the end cut off. Alternately you can simply use a tablespoon to fill the cavities.
Bake – Bake the doughnuts for 10-12 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. Broil for 2 minutes to brown the tops, if desired.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then carefully remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Glaze – Mix together the ingredients for the glaze adding additional buttermilk in small amounts to thin as needed. Drizzle over the doughnuts.
Store doughnuts chilled in an airtight container. Do not stack.

Ways To Personalize Buttermilk Glazed Blueberry Doughnuts: In this particular recipe I use blueberries, but you could use raspberries or blackberries or any whole berry in the same amount.
The buttermilk glaze gives a nice twang to the glaze and compliment the blueberries beautifully. You could also use heavy cream in the same amount.
