Ingredients

  1. Nonstick cooking spray
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1 tablespoon granulated pure cane sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  5. Pinch fine sea salt
  6. 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  7. 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  8. 1 large egg
  9. 1/2 cup plus 1 to 2 teaspoons whole milk
  10. Grated lemon or orange zest
  11. 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  12. 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  13. 1/2 cup maple syrup, warmed, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a doughnut hole pan liberally with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the butter, vanilla and egg until smooth; then whisk in the 1/2 cup milk and the lemon zest until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until a batter just comes together. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  3. Fill the molds of the prepared doughnut hole pan two-thirds of the way with batter, then press a few blueberries into each. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip and bake another 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Mix together 1/2 cup of the confectioners’ sugar and the remaining 1 to 2 teaspoons milk to make a glaze. Toss some of the pancake bites in the remaining confectioners’ sugar.
  5. Serve drizzled with the glaze, or serve with warm maple syrup for dipping.

These were delicious! Just the right level of sweetness. I used a mini muffin pan and cooked them for about 10 mins without turning them.

Very Good!  Just finished making for my son who is a blueberry lover.  I used orange zest which gave such a good refreshing flavor with the blueberries. I will make again.  I need to save the leftovers.  Did anyone save their leftovers?  If so, how?

I used a muffin pan and they came out amazing!  I wish I would have put more orange zest in!

It says donut hole pan

This sounds like fun, but why does the recipe call for a doughnut pan instead of the mini muffin pan which is what they look like.
