Blueberry & Orange Mini Doughnuts
Ingredients
Doughnuts
- 120 g Almonds (ground)
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 60 g Butter (melted)
- 4 tbsp Honey (runny)
- 4 tbsp Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Orange (zest only)
- 12 Blueberries (quartered)
Glaze
- 80 g Blueberries
- 60 g Icing Sugar (unrefined)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan), and lightly grease a 12-hole mini doughnut pan.
- Put the blueberries for the glaze into a small pan and cook whilst gently crushing and stirring to release the juice. Pass the mixture through a sieve into a bowl to make blueberry juice, and set aside.
- Mix all the doughnut ingredients together as an all-in-one mixture until combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each section two-thirds full. Press a few pieces of quartered blueberry into each doughnut. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 mins until risen and golden. Leave until the pan is cool enough to handle, then turn onto a cooling rack.
- Make the glaze by mixing the icing sugar with 3 tsp of blueberry juice in a shallow bowl, to create a fairly thick glaze. Dip each doughnut into the glaze and set aside to firm up.
Notes
- For an egg-free mixture, replace the eggs with chia or flax eggs.
If we don’t have a doughnut pan, could we try as a muffin?
You can of course try them as a muffin – I haven’t tried this method yet but I assume it will work as long as they are mini muffins and adjust the baking time up by a couple of minutes.
These little doughnuts are so delicious! I only replaced honey with maple syrup and used Coconut milk. Amazing! Thank you Lucinda.
