Ingredients

Doughnuts:

  • 1 cup all-purpose or white whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon all spice
  • 1 flax egg
  • 2 tbsp milk non dairy
  • 2 tbsp butter softened, non dairy
  • 1 teaspoon of molasses

Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 2 teaspoons milk non dairy

Instructions

Doughnuts

  • If you're using a babycakes or any other mini doughnut maker, preheat.
  • If using a mini doughnut pan, preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease the pan.
  • In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients.
  • Add the Flax egg, milk, and butter until well combined.
  • Add the molasses and stir to incorporate.
  • Fill a pastry bag or a large ziploc bag with the mixture (if using a ziplock bag, ensure it is zipped properly. Snip off the end of the bag to pipe the filling through.
  • Pipe into the doughnut maker or the mini doughnut pan.
  • If using the doughnut maker, follow the instructions, generally cooking for about 2 minutes each. Remember it gets hotter and so a set may take as short as 1 minute and 30 seconds. Once it's set and bouncing back, it's ready.
  • If baking in an oven, bake the doughnuts for 10 minutes or until cooked through and brown. It should be set and bounce back slightly when you touch it.
  • Remove the doughnuts to cool to a wire rack.

Glaze

  • Add the ingredients for the glaze together.
  • In a small pan, boil the ingredients for about 30 seconds and remove. It will be hot. Pour into a small bowl and allow to cool for about a minute. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze, swirl a bit so it stays on top, then place back on the wire rack. The glaze will set right away.

Notes

 
Store in an air-tight container to keep them soft.
