These blueberry oatmeal donuts feel wholesome and indulgent at the same time — which is a combination worth getting excited about. Hearty oats in the batter give them a satisfying chew and substance, while fresh blueberries burst with juice in every bite and keep things naturally sweet. Baked rather than fried, they’re lighter than a classic donut but still completely satisfying. They make a gorgeous weekend breakfast, a brunch centerpiece, or a treat to bring to work that shows you put in actual effort — even though they’re ready in under 30 minutes.
- Swap: Fresh or frozen blueberries both work perfectly — fold frozen ones in still frozen to prevent them from bleeding into the batter.
- Make-ahead: Bake a day ahead and store in an airtight container; glaze or dust with sugar the morning of serving.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- Variation: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a bright blueberry-lemon flavor that’s absolutely delicious.
- Serving: Glaze with a simple lemon icing and serve alongside a fruit salad for a complete, colorful brunch spread.
These yummy blueberry oatmeal donuts make for a great breakfast. The fact that I can have a few for less points than a store bought donut would cost me is a win win! They make for a good grab and go breakfast if you make the night before, and are super easy to make. Each donut is just 2 SP on both blue and green programs, 1SP on purple.

Thank you Loreen, I appreciate your kind words ๐ Hope you enjoy the recipes
I love these donuts! Have you tried making them with frozen blueberries? Frozen blueberries are a lot smaller so I wanted to try but I don’t want to ruin up the donuts, haha!
I think they would be great with frozen, I love using the wild blueberries cause as you say they are a lot smaller ๐
Do you use Quick Oats or regular Oats?
I typically use quick oats but either is fine ๐
Is the white flour all-purpose or self-rising flour?
I alwasy use all purpose unless I am making the 2 ingredient dough I use self raising
I don’t have a donut pan do you think it would be ok to use muffin pan?
You can try, maybe mini muffins?
These look amazing!
How can I make these without the donut rings!??
