Baked Blueberry Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts

 

Looking for something special for your holiday weekend breakfast, with all the flavors of summer?   I spotted this recipe on Half Baked Harvest’s feed and knew it was one that I wanted to try.  It has been awhile since I have used my doughnut pan, but baked doughnuts are such a delicious way to enjoy fresh doughnuts at home without making a morning run to the doughnut shop.

This is a really simple and quick recipe and has a great technique for amplifying the flavor of any fruit based baked doughnut.  The secret is to swirl jam in the batter as a last step.  This compliments the fresh berries and keeps the batter moist.   And, I can’t begin to describe how heavenly my kitchen smelled while these were baking.

These are best fresh from the oven and freshly dipped in the cinnamon and sugar. But, don’t worry - they are so delicious your family won’t leave many for later.

Happy beginning of summer, Happy Memorial Day weekend and God Bless America!
