I love combining lemon and blueberry together. That is exactly what I did to make these Lemon Blueberry Donuts. In addition to adding lemon and blueberry, I also added a creamy coconut frosting. Coconut also goes very well with lemon and blueberry. You can never have too many donut recipes, right? Especially when they are healthy donut recipes. My kids were trying to sneak bites of these lemon blueberry donuts as I was trying to take the picture! The life of a food blogger mom! If you also like lemon and blueberry, you may also like my lemon blueberry ice cream or my lemon blueberry cookies.
This healthy donut recipe is vegan and gluten free. I used fresh blueberries in my recipe, but I bet you could also use frozen blueberries. Just let them thaw before using in this recipe. I think this healthy donut recipe would also be good with strawberries or raspberries!
