Beautifully Baked Doughnuts

These doughnuts happen to be quite delicious, pretty simple to make, and you can feel great about eating them because they require no animal products, frying, or extreme amounts of sugar!

Ingredients You Will Need

• 1 cup of sugar
• 3 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 cup of egg substitute
• 1 cup of soy milk
• 1 teaspoon of white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon of light maple syrup
• 1/2 cup of melted vegan margarine
• Optional Glaze: 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy milk

Steps To Make This Delicacy 

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. Pour one cup of soy milk and add the teaspoon of vinegar to create a buttermilk substitute by allowing to sit for a few minutes.
3. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg substitute, homemade buttermilk, maple syrup, and melted margarine.
5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold the mixture together so that it forms a wet batter.
6. Place your bowl of batter in the refrigerator and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Once cooled, spoon the mixture onto a baking pan to form 4 cookie-like doughnuts. (Or if you own one of those fancy doughnut pans then just pour the batter into that and move on.)
8. Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove doughnuts and repeat this process 4 times for a total of 16 baked doughnuts.
10. Take a small cookie cutter and cut out the center of the doughnuts. Sometimes I skip this part because the doughnuts are delicious either way.
11. To finish it off, make a glaze for your doughnuts by combining 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of soy milk in a bowl and dipping the doughnuts in it. This part is optional, but I highly recommend it for all sugar lovers!
