Deliciously healthy blueberry donuts are light, soft, fluffy, and perfect for breakfast!
Baked Blueberry Donuts
Last week, my apartment kitchen magically turned itself into a donut-making factory. And I have no complaints with that.
Each morning was like going out to Dunkin Donuts…
Or really, it was like having my own personal Dunkin Donuts come to me, and I got to stay in my pajamas the entire time.
I don’t know about you, but any time I get to choose between getting dressed or staying in pajamas, the pajama option will win.
It’s not even a contest.

The only hard part about having Dunkin Donuts in your kitchen is that you have to choose:
Do I want a peanut butter donut today?
Or one that is dripping with maple glaze?
Maybe I want a chocolate donut with sprinkles?
Or a big, fat blueberry muffin in donut form.
Yes, today I think I will go with the blueberry muffin.

So about these healthy blueberry donuts…
Due to popular reader demand, I made the donuts refined sugar free this time, so you don’t need to use any granulated sugar here.
None of the refined sugar, all of the deliciousness.
Vegan baked donuts that can be whole grain or even gluten free.

P.S. Do these pictures look familiar?
I know people love seeing in-process photos, but my kitchen is so dark that I have to go over to another part of the apartment to get enough light.
Once the liquid begins reacting with the dry ingredients in baked goods, my goal is to get that batter into the oven ASAP!
So I try to reuse in-process photos if the batter looks the same.
The batter above is actually blueberry sour cream coffee cake…
Hmmmm now I am wondering about how Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Donuts might taste.
Back to the kitchen donut factory!

Blueberry Baked Donuts
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 tsp white or apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup or agave or honey
- 3 1/2 tbsp oil (or applesauce or banana for fat free)
- 1 cup flour, loosely packed (works with all purpose, spelt, or bob's gf)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- optional pinch cardamom or cinnamon
- 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen, thawed (60g)
Instructions
- Combine first 5 ingredients, and set aside. Grease a donut pan (like this one on Amazon) OR mini muffin pan, and preheat the oven to 350 F. Stir together all remaining ingredients except berries, then pour wet into dry once oven is preheated, and stir until just evenly mixed. Don't overmix. Either stir the blueberries in very carefully so they don't break and turn everything purple, or press them in after portioning the batter into the pan. Bake 10-12 minutes (depending on flour used), or until donuts have risen and batter is no longer wet. Let sit 5 minutes before removing from the pan. Frost with a basic glaze or ice the donuts with straight-up Coconut Butter, which is my favorite!View Nutrition Facts

Wow! I’m making a batch with King Arthur’s whole wheat white flour for preschool snack. (Minus the glaze). I forgot to spray my pan the first time and one stuck in the pan…. So I ate it. Oh my goodness… it’s going to take a miracle to keep myself from eating a few more before they go off to school tomorrow. These are amazing!
I got a donut pan for Christmas & couldn’t wait to try it….but we are trying to cut out sugar after the holidays! Ugh
I came across this recipe this morning & it was the perfect healthier donut option for our breakfast and the kids loved them!! Thank you so much for sharing! Saving this recipe!!
Had this today and it was awesome!!
Made a few adjustments – lemon juice instead of vinegar, and dropped the maple syrup to 1/4 cup to make it the perfect sweetness for my toddler and me. Ended up using 1.5 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons of applesauce as a sub for 3.5 oil.
Served with full fat Greek yogurt (as is though also yummy with maple syrup mixed in)
Even when I selected the “Recipe Photo” setting when I wanted to print it, it would not go, very unfortunate.
Could you use whole wheat flour and also how much apple sauce should I use and how many bananas
These are amazing !! Instead of whole blueberries I made a blueberry purée and put it in the middle before baking. I also added pumpkin spice on a few batches and it’s sooooo good !
Best blueberry treat I have ever had!
Used half local honey/ half agave , turned out perfect.

We thought these were pretty good! We used regular flour and a honey substitute. We didn’t glaze them as I’m unsure how to make a sugar free glaze, one kiddo use SF syrup on top, and the rest of us had them plain.
