Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Add agave nectar, almond milk, egg replacer, vegan butter, and vanilla extract to a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.
Add flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt and mix until fully incorporated (But DO NOT over-mix!).
Lightly grease your doughnut pan (I used Pam spray), and pipe batter into each mold (about ¾ full), and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown around edges.
Once done, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
Dip each cooled doughnut into bowl of melted chocolate and then sprinkle with edible sprinkles. Repeat until all doughnuts are done.
Bon Appetite.

Notes

FLOUR: If you want your donuts to be more of a ‘cakey’ texture, substitute 1 cup of All-purpose flour with Super-Fine Cake Flour.

OIL: Instead of coconut oil, you can also use vegetable oil, if preferred.

SWEETENER: If you choose to opt out of pure cane sugar, you can always substitute for coconut sugar or pure maple syrup instead. If using pure cane sugar, ensure that it is Vegan-approved such as the Wholesome brand, etc.

LEMON JUICE: If you choose not to use lemon juice, simply substitute with apple cider vinegar.

STORAGE: Can be stored in a tightly sealed container and best if placed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for ultimate freshness.
