Ingredients
Scale
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons blueberry juice
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a donut pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and spring back when lightly touched. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts cool, make the blueberry glaze. Mash 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries in a small bowl and strain through a fine-mesh sieve to extract the juice.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of blueberry juice until smooth and glossy.
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip the top of each donut into the blueberry glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the glazed donuts on a wire rack.
Immediately sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the wet glaze and gently press a few fresh blueberries on top of each donut. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure not to overmix the batter for fluffier donuts.
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more blueberry juice or powdered sugar as needed.
These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
