HOW TO MAKE LEMON BLUEBERRY BAKED DONUTS

Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing your donut pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined. In a separate small bowl, combine the dairy-free milk and vinegar and set aside for a few minutes to curdle.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the dairy-free milk and vinegar mixture. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Next, spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean. Allow the donuts to cool for a few minutes in the pan before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

HOW TO MAKE LEMON GLAZE

While the donuts are cooling, make the lemon glaze. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tsp of lemon zest, and 7-8 tbsp of lemon juice. Mix until smooth and add more lemon juice if needed to achieve your desired consistency.

Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops of each donut into the lemon glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the donuts back on the wire rack to set the glaze. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

These dairy and egg free lemon blueberry baked donuts are a delicious and healthy treat that everyone can enjoy. The combination of lemon and blueberries creates a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors, while the dairy and egg free ingredients make them suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
