Ingredients
2 egg whites
40g muscovado sugar
1 pinch salt
50g wholemeal flour
60g butter, melted
80g fresh blueberries
10g butter, melted
4-5 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Whisk the egg whites together with the muscovado sugar and the pinch of salt until stiff and glossy.
Add the flour, melted butter and blueberries to the bowl containing the beaten egg whites and carefully
fold the flour, butter and berries into the egg white mixture being careful not to deflate it.
Fill a pastry bag with batter and carefully pipe into your donut mould. Smooth the top of each mould with the back of a wet spoon.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tops of the donuts are golden-brown in colour and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the donuts comes out clean.
Let donuts cool in the mould for a couple of minutes and then carefully invert them onto a serving plate.
Key Points About Ingredients:
- Muscovado sugar adds a rich, molasses-like depth of flavour that elevates these donuts beyond a standard sugar-sweetened bake.
- Wholemeal flour provides extra fibre and a nutty character compared to plain white flour, making these donuts a more nutritious choice.
- Fresh blueberries are packed with antioxidants and natural sweetness, adding vibrant colour and juicy bursts throughout each donut.
- Whipping the egg whites to stiff peaks is the key technique here — it creates the airy, light texture that makes these baked donuts so special.
- Using melted butter rather than creamed butter keeps the batter smooth and easy to pipe, ensuring perfectly shaped donuts every time.
Key Nutritional Insights:
- Each serving provides a modest amount of protein from egg whites and wholemeal flour, helping to make this treat more satisfying.
- Wholemeal flour contributes dietary fibre which supports healthy digestion, making these donuts a smarter choice than those made with refined flour.
- Blueberries are one of the richest sources of antioxidants among common fruits, offering vitamin C and vitamin K in every bite.
- Baking rather than frying significantly reduces the total fat content compared to traditional donuts, making these a lighter indulgence.
- Muscovado sugar retains natural molasses, providing trace minerals such as iron and calcium not found in refined white sugar.
