These Lemon Blueberry Donuts are a delicious treat with the perfect balance between sweet and tart. A fairly simple recipe with the only kind of outlandish thing being a donut tray!

I am seriously obsessed with the combination of lemon and blueberry…. like it’s a problem. My lemon blueberry muffins are some of the most requested baked goods in my house. So I thought to myself, a donut version would probably be just a good, and not to toot my own horn, but I was right ;))

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Donuts:

To start this recipe off, add the vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, lemon juice and lemon zest to a large bowl and mix. In my lemon blueberry muffin recipe I use Lemon Jello mix to make the muffins very moist, the same could be done in this recipe but I wanted to make it using only natural ingredients, but a substitute is completely possible. 

In a separate bowl, add your dry ingredients. These include flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add your dry to the wet ingredients and mix well to combine. Then add the blueberries! 

Using greased donut trays, I use this set from Amazon, fill the donut divots with batter to the very top of the tray. 

Put them in the oven for 7-8 minutes at 425° F. Let them cool completely before dipping in the glaze.

The glaze is very simple, just powdered sugar, milk, and lemon zest.

And then voilà! You have made a delicious treat that I’m sure will not last in your kitchen very long. Expect more donut recipes in the future… I can’t wait to use my newly bought tins more!

As always, happy baking!!
