I made strawberry donuts once. My friends loved them. One of them asked if I could make a blueberry version and I was like, why not? His birthday was coming up and I decided I could try them out for the occasion.
These donuts are very simple to make. The hardest part is smashing the blueberries with a back of a fork. I like the strawberry version better and so did my friends, but these blueberry donuts still warrant a post if you`re every craving a blueberry baked goodies!
Don`t these glazed beauties look wonderful? Add some chocolate sprinkles and it`ll make them cuter! Another donut recipe will be coming up next!! Don`t miss it. :)
Be sure to check out my Strawberry Donuts! If you think these look good, the strawberry ones taste even better!!
