SWEET & SALTY BAKED DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 and lightly grease your donut pan.
• Mix together dry ingredients. Add remaining ingredients and whisk to combine. Using a piping bag, pipe batter into prepared pan (you can also carefully use a spoon to fill pan).
• Bake 8-11 minutes, or until donuts spring back when touched. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack. During this time, prepare your glaze by microwaving all four ingredients together until smooth.
• Dip the tops of slightly cooled donuts into the glaze and top with chopped peanuts.

MINI BAKED DONUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º F.
• 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-donut pan. Smooth out the top of the dough with your fingers, this will make for more even, prettier donuts, but isn't crucial. The dough should sit just below the rim of the pan.
• 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 donuts.

• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
