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

These were so yummy! I used a paleo flour blend and agave as the sweetener and they were absolutely delicious (especially with a cup of coffee!)
The flavor of these are so great. For some reason, my donuts never rose on top as much and never became rounded.i did Pamela’s gfmix, coconut oil. Did I miss something?
I also did cashew milk too.
Unfortunately, Pamela’s flour is not listed in the recipe as an ingredient.
Awesome recipies.
Those doughnuts make feel really hungry. however they’re not the best for our health. can you suggest some alternatives to doughnuts
Hi ! I just made these using unsweetened vanilla almond milk, spelt flour and coconut oil…
I recalculated the smartpoints with my changes and it came out to 9 SP per donut– just in case anyone else is wondering!
Katie, you have a very special gift to make something taste this good without all the extra sugar and fat. These doughnuts are INCREDIBLE!!! I knew they would be great when I took a bite of the dough and it was delicious! I like them a little doughy and I pushed my blueberries in instead of trying to mix them in. I will not need fattening desserts now because of you! Thank you!
Delish! I would have liked a doughnut type topping on it for looks, but super tasty. We have just started as gluten/dairy free and this wasn’t so painful.
Try melted coconut butter – so delicious!
Awesome looking recipe Katie!
These are seriously amazing!
I left out the blueberries because I didn’t have any and added a little pumpkin pie spice and some cinnamon for flavor; delicious! I did have to make a tiny substitution, I didn’t have any white or apple cider vinegar, so I used white wine vinegar, they were awesome so I guess it didn’t matter! I calculated these as 7 smart points each. A little high, but oh so good!
I wanna try it again using Splenda instead of syrup and applesauce for the oil, get the points way down. Has anyone tried this? How did it turn out?
Thanks for such a delicious recipe! I used huckleberry honey and they were fantastic! Cannot believe how light and fluffy they were! This recipe is a keeper!
I love the picture!
I made these last night using Bob’s gluten free flour, agave, and applesauce instead of oil, and they were delicious! They were also quick and and easy to make. Thanks for another amazing recipe!
I made these Sunday morning before church and my family loved them. They turned out delicious. I used a mini doughnut pan and it was perfect. Thank you for a delicious and healthy recipe.
In case anyone else was wondering, I just made these in a mini donut maker. They came out fantastic. I subbed most of the maple syrup with mashed banana added lemon essential oil instead of cinnamon – 5 drops. They are dangerously delicious. Thanks for all your fantastic recipes Katie! Much respect.
Yikes. Please, nobody else do this. Adding lemon essential oil like this can be harmful, especially to children! Especially undiluted
These are SO good, it’s not even funny. I’ve almost eaten the whole batch by myself. Thanks for creating such awesome recipes, Katie. I’m on a pretty restricted diet at the moment and I find your site is a god send.
Just made some today. They tasted great. I had a smaller pan so ended up with two dozen. So carbs per unit was 15grams which made it a perfect snack for my son who has type 1 diabetes. He’s had two already today. I love Katie’s recipes as they have very low (if any) cholesterol and if I want to lower the refine sugar, I substitute a third with sweetener. This recipe is great as it has no refined sugar.
SO adorable!
I just ordered your book and a donut pan on amazon : )
Omg these are heaven. Ive been desp to make them for ages. Super easy. So tender (didn’t have enough maple so used brown sugar and checked the Krispy Kreme recipe) thanks for the recipe! Yum yum yum
