One of the best things about this simple blueberry donut recipe is that you can use either fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. First, while you preheat the oven, combine the wet ingredients (the milk, egg, oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract) in a large mixing bowl. Then, mix the dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar) together in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl with the wet ingredients and stir just enough to combine. Gently stir in the blueberries, being careful not to squish them.

Cook time for the baked donuts is about 10 minutes; you know they're done when a toothpick comes out clean. While the donuts are baking and cooling, make the lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. If your glaze is too thick, add more lemon juice. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. Dip the baked donuts into the glaze and then set them on a wire rack until the glaze hardens. Or sneak one of these blueberry delights while the lemon glaze is still drippy- we promise not to tell anyone!
