Can I just say, YUM! I could literally eat the whole batch! My Lemon Poppy Seed & Blueberry Glazed Donuts (Vegan) are hands down one of the BEST (cake) DONUTS I have ever eaten in my life!
They will melt in your mouth as they are super soft and sweet! The blueberry glaze is not overpowering, yet balances the lemon poppy seed donut with its blueberry compote!
Since the donuts are super soft, I recommend spooning the blueberry glaze on top of each donut, versus dipping the donuts in the glaze. It will help give you nice drips down the side, as well as prevent any cake donut from breaking in the process. It will leave you with a mouthwatering, aesthetically-pleasing cake donut!
All it takes is ONE BITE into one lemon poppy seed and blueberry cake donut & BAM! you will never be able to walk away the same. Not only will these cake donuts capture your eye's attention, but will capture the attention of your taste buds!
These cake donuts are PERFECT for a little girl's party, bachelorette party, baby shower, bridal shower, girls night in, family gatherings, and any other time you want to make a lasting memory!
I can completely imagine a baby shower with these donuts alongside small mason jars of milk, plant-based or regular. The fun part is you can make them more blue or more pink depending on how much powdered sugar you mix in the glaze, so you can have a mix of naturally-colored baby blue and pink donuts for a gender reveal party/baby shower!
Now, let's grab our aprons and dig into deliciousness!
In a mixing bowl, add together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and granulated cane sugar. Mix until all ingredients well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the white cream of the canned coconut milk, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand-mixer or stand-mixer, add the coconut milk mixture into the flour mixture. Beat on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. (Fold in 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil if you feel the batter is too thick)
Place the batter into a icing bag for an easier distribution. Evenly distribute the batter among 6 donut cavities that have been lightly greased with olive oil.
Bake the donuts for 10-12 minutes. Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
For (V) Blueberry Glaze:
In a small pot over medium heat, add together the fresh blueberries and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2 minutes.
Using a fine-mesh strainer, pour the blueberry compote through it and press down with a spoon to release the liquids.
In a small bowl, place in the powdered sugar. A teaspoon at a time, add in the blueberry juice until it forms your desired thickness/color.
Once the donuts are cooled, either dip the donuts in the glaze or spoon the glaze on the donuts.
