Baked Blueberry Donuts

These Baked Blueberry Donuts are a favorite camping morning breakfast during berry season and can make ahead of time.

Perfect for road trips, and an easy treat for a busy weekday morning, and a fun treat for an anytime dessert.

These cake-like donuts are full of fresh berries and can be made with a coffee cake-crumb bottom (which is optional), drizzled with a white ganache, or serve sliced, filled with cream, and topped with fruit for a dinner dessert.

If you're looking for a healthier style of donuts this is the perfect recipe and super simple using a donut pan to shape them perfectly.
