Baked Blueberry Lemon Donuts

I love it when fresh blueberries are on sale and I can bake with them to my little hearts content.  I also like to freeze a bunch to use through the winter too.  Blueberries are one of my favorites~ did you realize how good they are for you?  They are.  Blueberries are packed with Vitamin C,  Fiber, Manganese all of which help our hearts, our brains, our insulin response, and they’re cancer fighting too!  All that wrapped up in each flavor-bursting-bite.  Mmmm mmm.

These baked donuts are a mouth-watering way to incorporate some delightful blueberries into you’re breakfast or snack.  Don’t worry~ if you don’t happen to have a cute donut baking pan, you can bake these up in a muffin tin or even a mini muffin tin might be fun!
