# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tsp baking powder
04 - 1/2 tsp baking soda
05 - 1/4 tsp salt
06 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

→ Wet Ingredients

07 - 1/2 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1/2 tsp vinegar added)
08 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 tsp vanilla extract

→ Add-ins & Toppings

11 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
12 - Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or melted butter.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
05 - Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful to minimize breaking them, especially if using frozen berries.
06 - Transfer the batter to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each donut cavity approximately 3/4 full.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

# Notes:

01 - These donuts are best enjoyed on the day they're made but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
02 - For a flavor variation, try adding 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
