A healthy-ish donut baked not fried + sweetened with beautiful blueberries! Completely dairy-free + eggless + vegan but absolutely delish! Baking with blueberries is one of my favorite things to do! I love fresh blueberries, but what I love more is when I can use them to make a yummy treat like these Baked Vegan Blueberry Donuts!
Tara’s Tips For Perfect Baked Vegan Blueberry Donuts:
- Use fresh blueberries! The frozen kind hold too much water + make the donuts soggy.
- These donuts are baked in the oven to perfection + they are fabulous. I don’t miss the frying + neither will you!
- If you need to make these ahead of time, allow them to cool, ice them, and store them in an airtight container until ready to eat. They are better when fresh but if you need to prep them ahead of time simply keep them in an airtight container until ready.
- Donut pans are tricky to fill neatly. My advice is to pour the batter into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a large Ziploc bag and cut off the corner end and carefully pour your batter into the Ziploc bag. Use the piping bag or Ziploc bag to fill each donut compartment equally.
- I did not test this recipe with alternative flours, just the all-purpose flour. If you use a different flour, let me know!
- Want to ice your Baked Vegan Blueberry Donuts? My favorite icing is super simple: Mix together 1/2 cup softened/room temperature vegan butter + 1 tsp apple cider vinegar + 1 tsp vanilla extract+ 3 cups powdered sugar + 1 tbsp plain unsweetened plant-based milk (I use Oatly oat milk). Spread on top of your donuts once they are cool enough to handle.
Love donuts? Me too!

Baked Vegan Blueberry Donuts
These donuts have the wonderful flavors of a cake-like donut and sweet blueberries baked right in!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder

- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- Step 3 Combine dry ingredients together in one bow except blueberriesl. Add in all wet ingredients, gently stir again until all ingredients fully combined. Careful not to over-mix.
- Step 4 Pour the batter into a piping bag. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a large Ziploc bag and cut off the corner end and carefully pour your batter into the Ziploc bag. Use the piping bag or Ziploc bag to fill each donut compartment equally.
- Step 5 Add the chopped strawberries, dividing the blueberries equally amongst the 12 donuts.
- Step 6 Bake in 350 degree oven for 13 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in a donut comes out clean.
- Step 7 When the donuts are done baking, carefully remove from the oven.
- Step 8 Once cool enough to handle, ice each donut if you choose using the recipe in the tips above, sprinkle with sprinkles or powdered sugar as desired.
- Step 9 Donuts are best eaten on the same day made. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container, heat in microwave for 20 seconds when ready to enjoy leftovers.
