{Blueberry Lemon Cardamom Donuts}

Donuts!

A friend joined me in making donuts for :: Valentines Day :: We landed on the lemon blueberry flavor with spicy cardamom because you always need something sweet in your life.  These aren’t your usual fried , crunch yet fluffy donuts.   They’re more like muffins in the shape of donuts.  The Meyer lemon glaze really balances out the sweetness of the  sugar.  I hope you enjoy something sweet in your life this Valentines Day!

  1. Preheat your oven to 425F.

  2. In small saucepan over medium high heat, add blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Mash blueberries until only a few remain whole. Heat and stir until boiling. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken. Set aside.

 Beat in greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, milk and melted butter until fully incorporated.
  4. Spray doughnut pan with non-stick spray, filling each cavity with ¼-1/3 cup doughnut batter. Dollop two to three tsp of blueberry jam on top doughnut batter in each doughnut pan cavity. Using a knife swirl the jam into the doughnut batter. Bake in oven for 9 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  5. In small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon zest, milk and vanilla bean caviar until sugar is dissolved and mixture is runny.
