I've always been a HUGE donut lover! When I was a young girl we would often stop at the local bakery once or twice a month and I would always choose a donut as my 'special' treat! Cake donuts, chocolate donuts, jelly filled donuts, you name it I LOVED them! But the 'older' me has a hard time 'treating' myself to our local bakeries donuts because of course they are fried. So if I'm going to have a sweet tooth, I decided it was time to starting 'baking' my donuts instead! These Blueberry donuts are one of my latest faves because I think the combination of light and fluffy donut full of blueberries and topped with a sweet lemon glaze is the perfect combination.

Can these be made as muffins? I don’t have a donut pan.

  Can you use a muffin tin?

  I’ve never used the recipe to make muffins so I’m not certain how it would turn out. But I did find this article on how to turn a regular muffin pan into a donut pan with just a piece of foil!!! https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-to-convert-a-muffin-pan-into-a-doughnut-pan/
  
  I hope this helps!!

  When I make things for a few friends,I just change the flour to gluten free flour.So far I’ve never had a problem,nor made my two friends sick.Now that you can get gluten free flour,and not mix all the other ingredients to make the flour.Everything has turned out,almost the same as with reg flour.First thing I made was, gluten free cream puffs. My one friend was delighted,as she hadn’t had any for years,( the first time was with all the ingredients to make the flour,they spread out, that they needed to be cooked in muffin pans) with gluten free flour they come out very much better and don’t need a muffin pan. So just do the same as I do,just change the flour and anything else you may need to with gluten free ingredients.Hope you find this helpful.

  I have made almost all of my recipes over to accommodate my gluten free family members. I find the Walmart brand, Great Value, to be the best for breads, cakes and cookies. Some of the other flours leave an after-taste.
