Tips
* This is the donut baker I have and use. I actually have 2 of them so I can make a lot when we have guests or teaching classes. 😊 You could also bake them in a donut pan like this as well, or even use a muffin pan and pour just a small amount of batter in the bottom. They will be round but will not have a hole in the middle – but they will still be tasty!
*You might need to stir in a bit more almond milk to get the batter the right consistency… not too thick.
*I have found that with my donut baker, they require a bit longer than when the built-in indicator thinks they are done, so experiment with your donut baker to get the perfect timing.
*alternative method to drizzle chocolate glaze over the donuts is to put the glaze in a Ziploc bag and snip a small corner off the bottom and use like a small pastry bag.
*They are also great without the chocolate glaze. Or another option is to put some coconut sugar in a coffee grinder and make your own powered sugar to sprinkle on top.
