If there’s one fruit that’s loved more than the others in this house, it’s blueberries. Though I’ve been known to eat berries straight from the bush, there’s nothing I prefer more than blueberries added to some of my favorite morning delights with a cup of coffee. Add in a good book and it’d be a perfect morning. It’s with this ideal day in mind that I wanted to share a recipe – Whole Wheat Baked Blueberry Donuts Recipe.
Of course, as I was writing this up, I wondered which way to spell it – DONUT or DOUGHNUT? Apparently both are acceptable and everyone has an opinion! 🙂
With Greek Yogurt and Whole Wheat Flour added to the mix, I hope you’ll find this baked donut recipe one that your family will ask for over and over again.
Ingredients: (Yield 6 donuts)
Whole wheat flour – 2/3 Cup
All Purpose Flour – 1/3 Cup
Sugar – 1/2 Cup, granulated (use 1/3 Cup if you prefer less sweet)
Baking Powder – 1 tsp
Baking Soda – 1/4 tsp
A fat pinch of salt
Greek Yogurt – 1/3 Cup
Milk – 3 tbsp
Oil – 2 tbsp
Vanilla Extract – 1 tsp
Egg – 1 large, at room temperature
Fresh Blueberries – 1 Cup
Confectioners Sugar for dusting the donuts
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease a 6 cavity donut pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients – Whole wheat flour, AP flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt.
In a medium bowl, mix together Greek Yogurt, Milk, Oil, Vanilla Extract and Egg till just combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a fork till the batter comes together. Do not over-mix. The batter will be thick.
Once the batter comes together, fold in the blueberries gently.
Scoop out spoonful of batter and fill the greased donut pan carefully and not all the way up to the top. Bake the donuts for about 14-16 minutes. To be safe start checking at the 12 minute mark.
Once the buzzer goes off at the 12 minute mark, insert a toothpick or skewer in the donut to check if they are baked through. Stick the pan back in the oven for additional 2-3 minutes if your donuts are underdone. Your Whole WheatBaked Blueberry Donuts are done once the toothpick or skewer comes out clean.
Cool in the baking pan itself for about 10-15 minutes till they are cool enough to touch. Ease the donuts out and transfer to a wire cooling rack and let the donuts cool down completely.
Dust it with a little confectioners sugar before serving.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Don’t the whole wheat baked blueberry donuts look delicious? I warned you!
