Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the blueberries carefully without overmixing.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into your donut cavities, filling them about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until your donuts spring back when touched.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Glazing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with blueberry juice. Add milk or lemon juice to achieve the desired thickness.
  2. Dip cooled donuts into the glaze and let them set before serving.

Serve warm with a light dusting of powdered sugar, or drizzle more blueberry glaze on top. Donuts can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Prepare the batter ahead of time and bake when ready.
