Preparation

  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut cavities, filling them about ¾ full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when touched.
  2. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Glaze Preparation

  2. Dip the cooled donuts into the glaze and let it set before serving.

Notes

Store the cooled donuts in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them wrapped in plastic wrap.
