Warm blueberry donuts for breakfast…yum.
Get yourself or borrow one of these amazing donut pans for a healthier baked donut option.
This is a quick and easy recipe and although it calls for buttermilk, which you might not have in the fridge, you can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice or 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1 cup milk. In our recipe you would eyeball ¾ of a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to ¾ cup milk. The buttermilk adds acidity to the recipe and when it reacts with the baking soda, your donuts become lighter in texture.
Enjoy!
