Recipie for Mini Baked Doughnuts

Here is the recipe for the mini baked doughnuts. It makes 20.

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp (scant) nutmeg
1 tiny pinch or shake cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (I use lemon juice)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
egg replacer for 1 egg
4 Tbs Earth Balance

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients with a whisk to mix thoroughly. Combine wet ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium low heat and mix until Earth Balance is melted. This mixture should NOT get too hot, you should be able to stick your finger in the mixture. It should feel slightly warm.

Add wet to dry and mix until just combined. It should form a very soft dough.

Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out dough into your ungreased nonstick mini-doughnut pan. Smooth out the top of the dough with your fingers, this will make for more even, prettier doughnuts, but isn't crucial. Also, you can put dough in a zip lock bag, cut a hole in the corner and squeeze out into pans.

If you over-fill, your doughnuts will come out looking like it has a little muffin top. Not the end of the world, but not very doughnut-like either.

Bake for 12 minutes. They should not be browned on top, but a tester will come out clean. Invert hot pan over a cutting board or cooling rack to release doughnuts. Allow to cool completely before decorating.

I just mixed lemon juice with powdered sugar to make a glaze and dipped the "bottom" half of the doughnut (the side with the nicer shape) into the glaze and then in shredded coconut.

Use your imagination with decorations! Have fun!
