Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup applesauce
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ cup to 1 cup blueberries
For the Glaze:
- Powdered sugar
- Non-dairy milk
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Prepare a donut pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, melt the vegan butter. Once melted, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar, applesauce, and almond milk to the melted butter. Stir well to combine thoroughly.
- Mix in the baking powder, all-purpose flour, and almond flour. Stir until the batter is smooth and free from clumps.
- Gently fold in the blueberries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
- Carefully pour the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts are golden and a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of non-dairy milk until you achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
- Once the donuts are cool, dip each one into the glaze, covering the top or drizzling it over, as preferred.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving.
