Blueberry Lemon Chia Doughnuts

Special Equipment: Bonut baking pan. Cook's Notes: These taste best when baked until nicely golden. They won't appear very browned on top, but I would recommend baking for the full 12 minutes and then lift one donut up and check for color. Once these have been baked for at least 11 minutes, they are easily removed and replaced back into the doughnut pan.

Ingredients

For the Glaze:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Lightly grease a 6-count doughnut baking pan (I used coconut oil).
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon, ¼ scant cup brown sugar, ¼ cup chia seeds and 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon zest. Stir together to combine.
  • In the bowl of a blender or food processor, combine ½ cup blueberries, ½ cup almond milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Plus just a few times to combine, about 3 good pulses.
  • Stir the blueberry mixture into the flour mixture until well combined.
  • Spoon the batter into a large plastic bag and cut the corner off (about 1-inch). Pipe into the doughnut pan. Alternately, you could just spoon it into the pan, but the bag method is super easy.
  • Bake for 12-13 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Flip donuts out on a wire rack and cool for 5-10 minutes. Make the glaze while doughnuts cool.

For the Glaze:

  • Whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more sugar if you want a thicker glaze.
  • Dip cooled donuts in the glaze and grate additional lemon zest on top of the doughnuts, if desired.
