What's a girl to do on National Donut Day? Why, make donuts, of course! I decided to make baked donuts, since I didn't really want to pull out the deep fryer. Plus, since they're baked, they're healthy, right? Ok, maybe not so much. But, it was worth a try!
Baked Blueberry Donuts
Ingredients:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 T milk
2 eggs
3 T oil
2 T water
1/2 c. blueberries
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together. Crush berries in a separate bowl with a fork. Mix together milk, eggs, oil, blueberries, and water. Pour liquid mixture into dry mixture and stir till just combined.
Pour into donut pan. I actually didn't have a donut pan (shocking, I know!), so I used my mini bundt cake pan. It worked just fine!
Bake for 16-18 minutes.
While the donuts are cooling, make the glaze.
Glaze
Ingredients:
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. lemon juice
water
Directions:
Mix together powdered sugar and lemon juice. Add 1 tsp. water at a time until drizzling consistency is reached. Drizzle over cooled donuts.
My crowd of hungry boys thoroughly enjoyed National Donut Day. We will have to do this again next year!
Pax Christi,
