Chamomile Baked Mini Donuts with Blueberry Glaze
These chamomile and blueberry donuts with poppy seeds are are the perfect sweet treat. These mini donuts have a slight floral taste from chamomile tea that compliments the fresh blueberry glaze perfectly.
These chamomile poppy seed donuts are a perfect little treat for a party or breakfast. Because I used a mini donut pan, they are the the perfect size for little fingers and baked up really quick (like 8 minutes per pan!). I suggest getting two pans to make it even quicker.
I infused the batter with this awesome chamomile tea from Plum Deluxe (affiliate link) that combines chamomile tea with rose and lavender, which infuses the donuts with a lovely and subtle floral taste.
The Fresh Blueberry Glaze was easy to make – I just pureed some fresh blueberries in my Magic Bullet and then whisked in some powdered sugar to make an easy, fresh, and flavorful glaze to dunk the baked donuts in.
Tips for baked donuts
- The easiest way to get the batter into the pans is to place all the batter into a zip-top bag and cut off one corner, then squeeze a ring in.
- Don’t overfill the pan, or the donuts will puff up so much that you loose the little holes that make them donuts.
- When cooled, dunk the donuts upside down into the glaze and then let them drip dry on a wire cooling rack.

Chamomile Donuts with Blueberry Glaze
Ingredients
Donuts:
- 1 ¼ cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ tso baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 TBSP chamomile tea
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 TBSP poppyseeds
Fresh Blueberry Glaze:
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
- 2 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 TBSP milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Prepare a mini donut pan by spraying each well with cooking spray and then setting aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and chamomile tea until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, buttermilk, egg, vanilla and poppyseeds.
- Carefully fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the donut pan wells about 2/3 full (do not overfill).
- Bake 8-10 minutes, or until starting to turn golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for a few minutes before removing the donuts from the pan and allowing to cool completely on the wire rack.
To make the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the blueberry puree, powdered sugar, and milk until desired consistency (you can add more milk to make it thinner or more powdered sugar to make it thicker – I think thicker is better because it stays on the donuts better).
- Dunk each cooled donut into the glaze and then drip dry on the wire rack (place newspaper, a cookie sheet or something under the wire rack to catch the drips!).
- Enjoy!
This is such a precious and sweet idea!!! I absolutely LOVE it, and those donuts sound pret-ty AMAZING!! Yum!!!!
