Frequently Asked Questions
Baked donuts are healthier than fried donuts. However, using oat flour to replace all-purpose flour is an even healthier option full of whole grains.
To achieve a nice round donut you will need a donut pan to make baked donuts. In addition, most donut batters are too thin to bake without a pan.
Baked Oat Flour Donuts With Blueberry Glaze
Equipment
Ingredients
Baked Oat Flour Donuts
- 1⅓ cups oat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons oil (canola or vegetable oil)
Blueberry Glaze
- ½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup water
- ¾ cup powdered sugar (may need up to 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
Optional Toppings
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons chocolate sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease the donut pans with cooking spray or a little oil on a brush. (If using 1 pan you will have to bake them in two batches).
- Mix the oat flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
- In a separate bowl add the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix them together.
- Carefully spoon in or use a pastry bag to fill the donut pan ¾ full.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. You can check with a toothpick to see if the center is done baking.
- While they are cooling begin making the blueberry icing. Add ½ cup of blueberries to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the blueberries are soft and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the blueberries and any leftover water to a blender and blend them until they are smooth. Add it to a small bowl.
- Once the blueberry mixture has slightly cooled add the butter and powdered sugar to it and mix well.
- If the donuts are fully cool you can carefully hold them upside down and dip them into the blueberry glaze. You can also use a spoon to spoon the topping onto the donuts.
- Add the any optional toppings right away before the icing sets.
Notes
- Add the fresh blueberries and/or sprinkles before the icing hardens on the donut to make sure it sticks well.
- Let the donut cool completely before adding the icing.
- Storage: The donuts can be stored in an air-tight container for 4 days. However, the color from the sprinkles may start to rub off on the frosting.

Kay says
Eggs where not listed in the ingredients, however, I added one. Everything mixed up really well. They were the perfect amount of sweetness but they were so dry.
Jen Talley says
Hi Kay! I added the egg to the ingredients. Thanks for catching that! I'm sorry they turned out so dry. Did you use fresh oat flour or store-bought? Also, if they bake too long they can get dry. How long did you have them in the oven? Did you check if they were done with a toothpick? I hope I can help!
