How to Make Blueberry Lemon Donuts:

1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your donut pan with cooking spray.

2: Mix your dry ingredients -  flour, sugar substitute (Stevia), baking powder, baking soda and salt.

3: Mix your wet ingredients - Applesauce, Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla extract.

4: Combine the wet and dry ingredients together - mix well. Now drop blueberries into the batter and fold together.

5: Pour your donut batter into your prepared donut pan. You can spoon it into the donut mold or place your donut batter in a piping bag which is probably the easiest way and fill your donut molds this way.

6:  Bake 15-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let cool on a wire rack to room temperature.

7: You can whip up a quick lemon glaze with 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to pour over your donuts for a zesty lemon glaze.

Expert Tips

• Try adding a scoop of cake mix: Opt for a box of lemon cake mix labeled "sugar-free" or "low-sugar" for a lighter option that fits well within your Smart Points allowance.
• Mind the Size of Your Donut Pans: Ensure your donut pans are standard size, typically around 3 inches in diameter, to yield perfectly shaped donuts.
• Incorporate Almond Milk: Swap out regular milk for unsweetened almond milk to reduce the calorie and fat content while maintaining a creamy texture and delicious flavor.
• Use Wild Blueberries: Incorporate wild blueberries for their intense flavor and smaller size, which disperses throughout the batter more evenly, ensuring a burst of blueberry in every bite without adding extra points.
• Ensure a Moist Texture: To keep your donuts moist, avoid overmixing the batter. Stir until just combined to prevent gluten development, which can lead to a tougher texture.
• Mind the Top of the Donuts: Smooth the batter level in each donut cavity before baking to achieve a uniform shape and ensure even baking.
• Enhance Flavor with Lemon Extract: Boost the lemony flavor by adding a splash of lemon extract to the batter. This will provide a concentrated burst of citrus essence without adding extra points.
• Optimize Lemon Icing: Prepare a light lemon icing using powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a touch of lemon zest. Keep it thin for easy drizzling over the donuts, adding a delightful tangy sweetness without sabotaging your Smart Points budget.
