These baked blackberry lime donuts have citrus zest in the vanilla batter while pureed blackberries give the glaze sweet & tart flavor and a hot pink hue.
Can you call something a habit if it’s been just 3 days?
I’m not sure habit is even the right word. It sound like it’s a bad thing, when in this situation it’s not.
My new mid-morning snack obsession is eating a full pint of blackberries.
This is only appropriate to do during berry season when the cost of strawberries, blueberries, and of course, blackberries are at their lowest thanks to an over abundant supply.
All I do is rinse them off in the container and just start devouring them with a fork.
Before I know it, I have polished off every single berry. I wish I had the willpower to make them last longer.
Blackberries are my favorite berry. They were one of my pregnancy cravings.
Last weekend I thought I should do something more elaborate to celebrate berry season. I ended up pulling out my donut pan to bake blackberry lime donuts.
For the longest time, I resisted buying a donut pan because I don’t have much cabinet space with all my other pans and everything else.
But I’m so happy I made room for it. I don’t consider myself to be a traditional fried donut person.
I much prefer the baked version because they are more like cake.
First I preheated the oven and made the vanilla batter. I debated whether to add chopped blackberries, but I limited the extras to lime zest.
After the donuts had baked and cooled, I incorporated the berries into the glaze.
In my food processor, I pureed the blackberries, strained them and mixed the puree with powdered sugar and lime juice to create deep fuchsia hued icing.
I loved the intense, saturated color so much that I didn’t add any other decoration to the tops of the donuts.
Seeing the tiny specks of berry streaked through was enough.
