Cuisine: American
Servings: 12 donuts
Calories: 118kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten free flour blend
  • ½ cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup almond milk or other milk alternative
  • 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 6 Tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 Tablespoons vegetable oil

For the vanilla glaze

  • 1 can vanilla frosting warmed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray donut pan with non-stick spray, set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking powder and salt. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the ground flax and water until frothy (similar to an egg). Add almond milk, vanilla extract and vegetable oil and mix. 
  • Pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until just combined. 
  • Pour batter into a large ziploc bag (or bakery bag) and snip a corner about ½" across. Pipe batter evenly into prepared donut pan.
  • Bake on middle rack for 8-10 minutes.
  • Scoop the vanilla frosting into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15-20 seconds until warmed through and smooth. 
  • Once donuts are cooled, dip into warm frosting and add toppings right after so they stick. 

Notes

I like to use sprinkles, mini M&M's or mini chocolate chips. Use anything you have on hand, or add a little food coloring and turn the frosting any color you want!
