Blueberry Baked Donuts
Here’s a batch of soft and moist blueberry baked donuts to go with your morning coffee!
Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes yesterday!! They made the day extra special 🙂 I had a great day celebrating with my hubby, with some wonderful dinner and drinks! Do you know what else made my birthday special?? Baked donuts!!!! Yes, I need to scream that. I love baked donuts and it’s rather shameful I’ve not shared more of these with you. That’s not representative at all of how much I consume them.
When PAM reached out to me to share some of my “clean up” secrets, I knew these blueberry baked donuts will be the perfect example of how I use PAM baking spray to make my clean up life easier.
I bake a lot (duh!!) and dislike the aftermath of dishes that accumulate especially after a weekend of three to four recipes for the blog. The poor husband gets the daunting task of taste tester AND clean up buddy for those days when I do not feel up to it, which is very often. Washing sticky baking pans, mixing bowls, and tons of spatula really can take the fun out of baking. And it’s even worse when you have guests coming over for a dinner party as you want your clean up to be quick and efficient. That’s why I eliminate any sticky pans by using PAM baking spray.
PAM seriously works wonders for my cake pans, bundt pans and clearly, donut pans too. Yeah, I kinda have a lot of different baking specific pans. Did I mention I bake a lot? Back to the topic, using PAM really eliminates the fear of goo at the bottom of your pans and there is no need to soak anything before washing. Clean up is fast and easy!! Every time!! My baked donuts are evidence yo!
These blueberry baked donuts boast a very rich and soft brown butter base (my favorite!) that’s topped with fresh blueberry glaze. The glaze is just the touch of sweetness you need to go alongside that morning coffee. They are truly delicious and you need to try them soon.
What are some of your clean up secrets? I know everyone has some!!
Blueberry Baked Donuts
Here's a batch of soft and moist blueberry baked donuts to go with your morning coffee!
Ingredients
For Donuts:
- 1 2/3 cup cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted, browned, and cooled
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- ½ cup blueberries
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a doughnut pan with PAM baking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a measuring cup, whisk together wet ingredients; browned butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix as you will have rubbery donuts. Using a small spoon, scoop batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each about ⅔ full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the donuts are baked through and spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in the pan for 1 minute and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. While cooling, make the glaze.
- To make the glaze, combine the blueberries and powdered sugar in a blender or food processor. Blend together until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl. Add some more powdered sugar (one tablespoon at a time) if the glaze is not thick to coat donuts.
- When donuts are completely cooled, dip each in a glaze. Let glaze set for 20 minutes before stacking or serving. Donuts are best enjoyed within two days.

If this weren’t a family-friendly site, I’d swear. Because I think these need a holy beepity beep. 😆 Seriously, I needed this in my life, like, this morning. So happy to hear you had a great birthday yesterday too.
I bought a Wilton’s donut pan a while back with all good intentions. Still haven’t got around to using it yet (like a lot of other pans I own, oopsies). Now I have a great reason to bust it out and christen it. 🙂
Pinned and adding to my make & bake list.
Hahah you crack me up Lisa!! You need to use that pan. Mine is a Wilton too and I love it!!
Pretty sure baked donuts are actually the greatest thing ever.

It’s so easy! Takes less than 30 minutes to whip up!
Put some blueberries in the doughnuts themselves and I would be all over these. love that glaze!
Hahahha I know! Was going to but decided to go with just the glaze!
Girl these donuts are spectacular!!!! I love the deep beautiful blue/purplish color of the icing!
Thanks!!

Well, I am super sorry I miss your birthday 🙁 Happy belated birthday! I hope you had an awesome day. You are a wonderful lady who deserves all her birthday wishes to come true.
These donuts look fab. Definitely birthday worthy!
Thank you Laura!!!
I actually get stressed out watching people make messes in commercials for products that are supposed to help clean up the mess. That’s how much I hate dirtiness and the cleaning! I’m glad to hear you had a wonderful birthday – you deserve it, Zainab. You work so hard all the time, you deserve to relax and enjoy yourself. These donuts look perfect and I love that the glaze is made with only blueberries and icing sugar. I wish I could reach into my screen and grab a dozen of these!
Lol I wish I hated mess that much!! I’m the complete opposite I hate cleaning mess but do it coz one cannot live in mess lol
The thing is we just DO NOT get berries here !!! {except strawberries} which is the saddest thing in the history of sad things! 🙁 (Actually, you get them in these high-end gourmet stores and they are EXTREMELY expensive for a very meager quantity!) But there was this one time I decided to splurge on blueberries that surprisingly showed up in the local supermarket at a fairly good price. I’m thinking it’s time to make that splurge again ! I seriously CANNOT resist these doughnuts! I just want to eat 1 (or 12 ) of these !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pinning! 😀
Oh no! I’m so sorry berries are insanely expensive over there. Ugh! They are so good. But expensive here too out of season.
Eek my weakness! <3_<3
Happy belated, Zainab! 🙂 …these donuts look irresistible!
xo,
Tammy
Thanks Tammy!!!
Hey zainab! Your recipe sounds super yummy!my son loves doughnuts! But we don’t use eggs .is there a substitute to make eggless doughnuts?
Thanks!
Asumi
Thanks! Have you tried egg substitutes? They should work in this recipe if you want to give those a try.
I just made these and they are yummy! I’m wondering if you have ever come up with a GF (Gluten free) versoin? made with maybe rice flour, tapioca flour/starch, etc. I would love to see what your thoughts are on substitutions so that I can make them for the whole family!
Jennifer I haven’t tried a gluten free version and really can’t say how the texture and moisture of the donuts will be. I do think though you could try Cup4Cup flour and it should work well.
Hi! All new to donuts – I bougt a mini-donut maker and whipped up a bach today. I loved them!! I wonder how well they keep, though.. The recipe was quite big- we ate about 20, and still theres 42 left.. Can I freeze them with the glaze? Or is it better to defrost and then glaze them? After thawing- how long do they keep? Hope you can answer my question. 😊
you can freeze them for sure and thaw at room temperature overnight. As for how long it lasts, you can store them airtight at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Hi, not sure if it’s a typo. Can you confirm if the cake flour is 1 and 2/3 cups? OR 1 cup uptown 2/3 cups?
Thanks!
1 and 2/3 cups flour
Delicious blueberry Donuts. Great to do this week and surprise my children. Thanks for sharing.
Hope your kids love it!
