Easy Baked Blueberry Donuts Recipe

These simple Baked Blueberry Donuts are a burst of summer flavor in every bite! Made with simple pantry ingredients, Greek yogurt, baking powder for a bit of a lift, and fresh blueberries, this baked donut recipe is utterly delicious all season. To take them up a notch, we’ve coated them in cinnamon sugar.
I have one word… ok, maybe two for this Baked Blueberry Donut recipe.
Absolutely. Yum.
One of my favorite activities in the summer is blueberry picking. I adore the large, juicy berries we grow in the Northwest. And I’m always making something with them, from muffins to cobblers, scones, coffee cakes, waffles, custards, bread, crostatas, crisps, pies, smoothies, tarts and more.
Even, an Amish Baked Oatmeal.
At this moment I still have two gallons of frozen blueberries in the freezer that I’m using in everything until our berries ripen. It’s a delicious project!
So obviously I had to bake some of them into tender, delicious blueberry donuts.
Do they need that extra drizzle of glaze? No, they honestly don’t. But I felt indulgent that day and I couldn’t help myself. Plus… they look so pretty dressed up.
And if you’re only going to have one… well, it’s ok. The trick is keeping it to one!

- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1/3 cup milk
