Instructions
Donuts
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease donut pan; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and apple pie spice; set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the powdered plant-based egg replacer with the apple cider until blended. Whisk in the Florida Crystals® Organic Brown Raw Cane Sugar, coconut or almond milk, canola oil, and vanilla until well blended.
Gradually fold dry mixture into wet mixture until blended.
Spoon batter into prepared donut pan, evenly distributing the batter into the molds.
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until pick inserted in center comes almost clean.
Cool donuts completely before removing from pans and glazing.
Glaze
Sift Florida Crystals® Raw Cane Powdered Sugar into a large bowl. Add apple cider and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
Dip tops of cooled donuts into glaze. Place donuts on wire rack until glaze sets; then dip donuts again.
Chef's Tip
Use a tablespoon to portion 1 tablespoon of batter on either side of the donut molds; then swirl the batter well so there are no gaps.
Chill donuts after glazing to set the glaze more quickly.
