Blueberry Almond Donut Holes Recipes

BLUEBERRY DONUTS

Steps:

• Fill a deep fryer or large pot with canola oil to at least 2 inches deep. Using a candy thermometer, heat oil to 360°F.
• While oil is heating, mix together the dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Stir in the blueberries until they're well coated in the flour mixture.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until a sticky blue dough forms.
• Press dough into a circle about 1/2-inch thick on a heavily floured surface. Use a donut cutter or two round (one big, one small) cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes, dipping the cutters into flour as necessary to prevent sticking to the dough. Gather and reroll remaining dough until all the dough is used. You should have 15 donuts and donut holes.
• For the glaze, simply whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and blueberry jam until smooth and thin enough to dip the donuts in. Add additional milk if the glaze is too thick or powdered sugar if it seems to thin.
• Once the oil has reached 360°F, carefully add donuts to the hot oil, taking care not to overcrowd them. Let donuts fry for 15-30 seconds on each side, flipping twice, for a total frying time of 2 minutes or until donuts are golden brown. They cook fast so watch them carefully as you don't want to burn them.
• Transfer the fried donuts to a wire rack that's set over a rimmed cookie sheet or paper towels to let excess grease drip off before dipping in glaze. Repeat frying process with remaining donuts.
• While donuts are still hot, dip one side into and out of the glaze a few times and return to the wire rack with the non-glazed side down. Let glaze set or enjoy while they're still warm.

BEST EVER BLUEBERRY CAKE DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
• In a medium bowl combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl or stand mixer combine egg, sugar, milk, butter and vanilla.
• Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until combined.
• In a small bowl coat your blueberries (rinse them so they're a TAD wet) with the remaining 1 tbsp of flour. Then, gently fold them into your batter.
• Fill your prepared donut pan with donut batter. This should make ~7 donuts.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until donuts are golden brown and when a toothpick is inserted it comes out clean.
• Allow donuts to fool fully before if adding frosting, glaze or rolling in powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY ALMOND DONUT HOLES

Steps:

• Preheat an electric cake pop maker.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, 1/3 cup of milk, and almond extract. Stir in ¼ cup of sugar. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Pour the batter into a zip-topped bag, and snip off the corner.
• When the cake pop maker is hot, lightly coat the cavities with nonstick cooking spray. Working quickly, fill each cavity about ¾ of the way full with batter, and press a blueberry into the center of each. Close the lid and bake for 3-4 minutes, or until the tops are lightly firm to the touch. Immediately turn out onto a wire rack to cool, and repeat with the remaining batter and blueberries.
• Combine the remaining ½ cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Pour the milk into a separate small bowl. Once cool, dip each donut hole in the milk and shake off the excess. Roll around in the cinnamon sugar until coated.
