Baked Blueberry Donuts

 

Baked Blueberry Donuts are my new favorite. I know what you are thinking, how can donuts be healthy? I’ve created an awesome recipe for you to try. These yummy Blueberry Donuts are baked not fried. You can also use white sugar alternatives like date sugar or coconut sugar for a healthier option. You can use gluten free flour for this recipe but be careful not to over-mix. Over-mixing will cause donuts to be tough and not as moist. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
