- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, coconut oil, and vanilla.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir the mixture together until just incorporated.
- Fold in the fresh blueberries
- Use a piping bag, or a spoon, to evenly pour the batter into the donut pan, filling the tins about 3/4 of the way.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool donuts completely on a wire rack before dipping them in icing.
Blueberry Icing
- Blitz the blueberries in a food processor until chunky.
- Heat the coconut butter, milk, vanilla, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Mix in the blueberries.
- Bring to a low simmer and continue to stir until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
- Allow icing to cool slightly before dipping each donut into the icing. Enjoy!
Notes
• The icing will harden as it cools.
• The color of the icing will also darken as it cools.
