These Blueberry Donut Muffins that are doused with a vanilla glaze, sliced almonds and vanilla sprinkling sugar are to die for. These are such a a wonderful treat in my house and they don’t last long!
I used to work above a bakery that sold these amazing blueberry and cinnamon donut muffins. I quit working there so I quit having blueberry donut muffins.
So sad.
Until now! A few weeks ago I had some one-on-one time with Raya (my toddler). We hit a few parks then my favorite local bakery where she got a m&m cookie and I got a blueberry donut muffin. Oh how I’ve missed that muffin. It inspired me to make my own version of them because I’ve missed them so much.
This recipe is very simple and straight forward. There is nothing fancy about the batter…it’s just flavored well with good vanilla extract and plump beautiful blueberries. What makes these extra delicious is the sweet glaze that’s poured on top. I decided to add some sprinkling sugar and slivered almonds for crunch but it’s not necessary.
These are a crowd pleaser – great to make when friends or family are in town. They don’t last long so make extra! You can change the flavor up by adding lemon zest, orange zest or almond extract. All of these would be wonderful.
Put these on your must make list, for sure!
