I am going to pause all the gingerbread and peppermint on your feed to bring you all the tangy indulgence of a “Lemon Blueberry Baked Donut”. My 5 year old loves blueberries but she never eats them fast enough and I end up coming up with different ways to use them before they go bad so I made baked donuts. It seemed a little odd since everybody is baking and posting about cookies, gingerbread, and peppermint candy. Well, You know me. I am rebel.
These donuts were exactly what I needed and didn’t even know it. The blueberries were surprisingly sweet and the Meyer lemon was juicy perfection. These donuts are super light and delicate but packed with a bunch of flavor. What unexpected thing have you baked lately?
