Blueberry Flax Donuts with Orange Cardamom Glaze

Recipe by The Gourmet RD

It's DONUT TIME! Or is it doughnut time?  Either way, I freakin' love donuts.  They're a treat I rarely ever allow myself to have, just because I know they're deep fried and usually filled with

Ingredients

• 1½ cups oat or whole wheat pastry flour
• ½ cup ground flax seed
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp coarse salt
• ¼ cup dark brown sugar
• ¼ cup melted butter or oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups milk (any kind)
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp fresh orange zest and juice
• 1 tsp ground cardamom

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a donut pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, flax, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In another mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together brown sugar, butter or oil and egg, until fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract, then milk. Add dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients while beating on low, just until combined. Fold in blueberries. Spoon or pipe batter into the donut pan, keeping the hole open in the center. Bake 13-17 minutes, until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let slightly cool. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, orange zest and juice and cardamom. Pour glaze over each donut.
