Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter Use unsalted butter for a less salty flavor.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar could add a hint of molasses flavor.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 large Egg Egg substitute such as flaxseed can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional flavorings like almond extract could be an interesting twist.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be substituted for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Ensure it is fresh for proper rise.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Table Salt Avoid if using salted butter.
For the Star Ingredient
  • 1 cup Wild Blueberries Fresh berries hold shape better, while frozen berries may result in a more uniform batter.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Use alternative sweeteners for a lower-sugar glaze.

Equipment

  • 6-cavity donut pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, granulated sugar, whole milk, large egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Sift the all-purpose flour into the wet mixture along with the baking powder and salt, then gently fold together.
  4. Fold in the wild blueberries carefully using a spatula.
  5. Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  8. Warm wild blueberries in a saucepan, mash, and strain the juice into a bowl. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract for glaze.
  9. Once cooled, spoon the blueberry glaze over each donut and let it set for about 20 minutes.
