Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of vegetable oil or use a silicone donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by combining the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Once the donuts have cooled, dip the tops of each donut into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
Place the glazed donuts back on the wire rack and let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
