I’m so happy to be bringing some of my

Baked Blueberry Lemon Donuts for y’all to enjoy today!

I love it when fresh blueberries are on sale and I can bake with them to my little hearts content. I also like to freeze a bunch to use through the winter too.

Blueberries are one of my favorites~ did you realize how good they are for you?

They are.

Blueberries are packed with Vitamin C, Fiber, Manganese all of which help our hearts, our brains, our insulin responce, and they’re cancer fighting too! All that wrapped up in each flavor-bursting-bite. Mmmm mmm.
