Ingredients
  

Batter Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Can replace with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder Ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Use sea salt for a more refined taste.
  • 2 large eggs Flax eggs can be used for a vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup milk Almond milk or oat milk can be substitutes.
  • 1/4 cup butter Use unsweetened applesauce for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries Frozen blueberries can also be used; adjust flour accordingly.
  • 2 cups vegetable oil Can substitute with coconut oil for a different flavor profile.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Skillet or heavy pot
  • candy thermometer
  • Slotted Spoon
  • Cookie scoop or tablespoon

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and fresh blueberries.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  4. In a deep skillet or heavy pot, heat about two inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 365°F - 375°F.
  5. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  6. Fry the donuts for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Let the fried Blueberry Cake Donuts cool on the paper towels for a couple of minutes.
  9. Serve them as they are or dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature between 365°F - 375°F for perfect frying; too cool and donuts will absorb oil, too hot and they'll burn.
