Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a doughnut pan with nonstick cooking spray. (NOTE: If using an electric donut maker, read the manufacturer's directions.)
Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Combine all wet ingredients except for blueberries into a separate mixing bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry just until combined, then gently fold in the blueberries.
For mini donuts, drop one tablespoon of batter into each donut form. Use two tablespoons for traditional-size donuts.
Bake for 10 minutes, until golden brown.
Pulse the sugar and lemon zest in a mini food processor until combined.
Place the lemon sugar into a resealable bag. Working with two at a time, place the donuts in the bag and shake well to coat. Transfer the donuts to a wire rack to cool, if they make it that far!

I also made these in mini-muffin tins. I only had large blueberries so I cut them in half and only put in a scant cup of them. I also added the blueberries to the dry ingredients before mixing in the wet. This coats the berries with flour and keeps them from sinking to the bottom while baking. - 7/26/12

Yummy! i made muffins also, no donut pans. i cooked mine for 18 minutes and i'm pretty sure next time i am going to use smaller and less blueberries. i had sections of some of them that were blueberry mushy because my blueberries were huge, which also made for a messy clean up. will make again. - 1/8/12
