1. Prepare the Donut Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix.
• Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

2. Fry the Donuts:

• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).
• Carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer.
• Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the donuts from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

3. Make the Glaze:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve your desired consistency.

4. Glaze the Donuts:

• Place the glazed Blueberry donut Dunkin back on the wire rack to allow the excess glaze to drip off.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

• Serve the blueberry cake donuts warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of fluffy donut and sweet blueberry goodness.

Useful Tips for Blueberry Cake Donut Recipe

• This recipe requires a nonstick donut pan. Most large retailers sell them, and each pan normally has six indentations. I use Nordic Ware’s donut pan, and it works well.
• Avoid overfilling the pan with batter. Only fill each cavity up to 3/4 full. If you add too much batter, the blueberry glaze donut will rise above the sides of the pan and lose their traditional shape.
• The batter can be prepared up to one day ahead of time and stored covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh in the donuts making?

Frozen blueberries work well in this recipe—no need to thaw, just fold them into the batter while frozen. Keep in mind they may affect the texture slightly by releasing more moisture.

Can I bake the donuts instead of frying them?

While frying the donuts gives them that classic crispy exterior, you can bake them if you prefer a lighter option. Simply spoon the batter into greased donut pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How should I store leftover Blueberry cake donuts?

Store leftover Dunkin’ Donuts Blueberry muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Freeze unglazed donuts for up to three months; thaw before reheating or glazing.

Can I use whole wheat flour in this Donuts recipe?

For a healthier twist, you can substitute some or all of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Note that this may result in a slightly denser texture compared to using only all-purpose flour.

Can I use a different glaze for the donuts?

Absolutely! While a simple powdered sugar glaze is classic and delicious, you can get creative with your glaze flavors. Try a lemon donuts glaze for a citrusy twist or a cream cheese glaze for extra richness.

Can I make the donut batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the donut batter in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before frying or baking. Be sure to give it a quick stir before using it to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
