Servings: 12 Prep Time: 5 min Cook Time: 12 min Total Time: 17 min
Directions for the Donuts:
Preheat oven to 425F. Generously spray 6 unit donut pan with coconut oil baking spray. In a large bowl combine flour, raw cane sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
In a separate smaller bowl whisk together almond milk, egg or flax egg, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until a batter is formed.
Distribute mixture in donut pan. You can pipe mixture in with a ziplock baggie with the top cut off.
Toss blueberries with 1 Tbsp of gluten free flour. This helps them from sinking in the batter. Gently press the blueberries into the filled donut molds.
Bake for 12-13 minutes. Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before gently removing and cooling on wire rack.
Directions for the Lemon Glaze:
In a small or medium bowl whisk all glaze ingredients together until a smooth glaze is formed.
Dip cooled donuts in lemon glaze and place on wire rack to set. Best enjoyed immediate but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week!

Notes:
*Can sub for a 1:1 ratio of almond flour if paleo.
**If vegan you can swap egg for flax egg but the products may not be as fluffy. To make flax eggs combine 1 Tbs of ground flax seed + 2 Tbs of water. Let sit for 5 minutes.
