How to make this quick Vegan Blueberry Yoghurt Doughnut recipe:
- Pre-heat oven to 180°C/356°F and grease a large doughnut pan with vegan butter.
- Combine apple cider vinegar and non-dairy milk together. Set aside for a few minutes.
- Melt the vegan butter in the microwave, then add to the milk mixture, with vanilla extract, granulated sugar and thick vegan yoghurt. Mix together – you may see a few clumps from the yoghurt but that’s ok!
- Add plain flour, baking powder and baking soda into the mixture. Fold until well-combined.
- Dollop 1/4 – 1/8 tsp amounts of the wild blueberry conserves over the batter. Fold together 2-3 times.
- Using two spoons, carefully add the batter into the doughnut pan.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Or when a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow doughnuts to rest in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, gently tap them out onto a cooling rack. Allow them to cool for another 10 minutes.
- While the doughnuts cool – combine the cinnamon and granulated sugar together.
- Spread a very thin layer of wild blueberry conserves over the tops of the doughnuts, then dip into the cinnamon sugar.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make these Doughnuts without a Doughnut Pan? Yes! Just use a muffin or cupcake tray.
Can I double the recipe to make 12 doughnuts? I’d advise to make one batch at a time!
Can I add fresh blueberries to the batter? Yes, if you’re using blueberry jam! But because I used wild blueberry conserves, I didn’t have to as conserves naturally always have a few fruit chunks in the mixture.
I find adding the batter into the doughnut pan with spoons difficult – I only wanted to use this method to avoid using plastic, but if you want you can add the batter into a zip lock bag, cut out the corner then pipe it into the pan.
Do I have to dust them with cinnamon sugar? Nope! These Baked Blueberry Doughnuts actually taste super delicious without the cinnamon sugar, I only added it to add a little something-something to them and to make them look prettier!
Can I use icing sugar glaze instead of cinnamon sugar? Yes! But these doughnuts are very delicate, so be gentle when dipping into the icing.
How do I store these doughnuts? Keep refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 2 days.

- Combine non-dairy milk with apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- Melt vegan butter in the microwave, then add into the milk mixture with vanilla extract, granulated sugar and thick vegan greek yoghurt. Mix together – there'll be a few clumps of yoghurt but that's normal.
