1 1/4cupswhole wheat pastry flourspoon in and level off the top (all-purpose, spelt or whole wheat flour will also work, as well as Kodiak Cake pancake mix)
1teaspoonbaking powder
1/2teaspoonsalt
1/4cupsugar
1largeegg
1/2cupmilk(I like almond milk or cashew milk)
1teaspoonvanilla extract
2tablespoonscoconut oilmelted (any oil or even melted butter will work)
1/2 to 1cupfresh blueberries
powdered sugaroptional topping
Optional donut glaze topping
2cupspowdered sugar
1/4cupwater + more as needed for consistency
1/2teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350˚ F.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Stir in egg, milk, vanilla extract and coconut oil. I add the coconut oil last and stir swiftly, as to avoid it hardening up. Gradually, stir in blueberries.
Spoon batter into a liberally greased donut pan (nonstick spray works fine). You can also use a piping bag or a freezer bag with the tip snipped off to pipe the donut batter into the pan. Divide equally to create 10 donuts. Batter should fill donut molds to the center (but not cover it).
Bake for 9-10 minutes. Let donuts cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the donut pan. You may need to use a knife to remove each donut from the pan.
To make the donut glaze, mix all glaze ingredients in a medium bowl. You may need to add a bit more water 1-2 teaspoons at a time for the right consistency.
Dip warm donuts into the glaze, making sure to coat both sides, if desired. Place onto wire cooling rack to allow excess glaze drip down. The glaze will eventually set + harden on the donuts after about 20 minutes.
Donuts are best enjoyed the same day, though they keep at room temperature for a couple extra days in an airtight container.

Notes
You will probably not use all of the glaze recipe and since it is also optional, it is not included in the nutritional information.
Store baked donuts in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Be sure the frosting has fully dried before you stack them, so that they don’t stick together.
