These Baked Lemon Blueberry Donuts are a healthier version to the normal fried donuts.

One of my first jobs was working at a snack bar in Safeway.  It was called a snack bar but we had everything a diner would have and more including steaks that the customers got to pick from the meat counter themselves.  Anyway the ‘”snack bar” was located next to the bakery.  Back in those days (the late 70’s) a grocery store bakery actually made all their baked goods in house. They weren’t shipped to them ready to bake.  I remember watching the baker fry the donuts in a large vat of oil and using what looked like drum sticks to turn them over.  While you can still buy fried donuts, times have changed and now you can purchase a donut baking pan at most stores.  I have even seen them for purchase at my grocery store.

These Baked Lemon Blueberry Donuts are full of fresh blueberry and zesty lemon.  Low in calories at only 131 (without glaze) and 189 (with glaze)compared to their counterpart at 360 calories with glaze!  You can also try my Baked Sugar N’ Spice Donuts.
