Print Recipe

Delight in these light and fluffy Maple Blueberry Sourdough Donut Holes, perfect for a sweet breakfast or snack, featuring the tangy depth of sourdough with bursts of fresh blueberries and a maple glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup whole milk, warmed
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup, plus extra for glaze
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm milk, maple syrup, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
  5. Cover the batter and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to slightly ferment and thicken.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop small portions of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  8. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Remove the donut holes with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Dip each warm donut hole into the maple glaze, then place on a rack to set.
  12. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar after glazing or serve alongside a cup of hot coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast treat.
