- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 cup Maple Syrup
- 4 Oz Water
- 3 tbsp Almond Butter

Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
Naturlax Egg Sub
- 1 tsp Naturlax Vanilla
- 4 oz Water
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven or air fryer to 350•F. Use cooking spray or coconut oil to the donut pans to grease.
- Using one large bowl, combine Naturlax and water to create the egg replacer. Stir until smooth and thick. Next, add in the wet ingredients: milk, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix together until everything is combined.
- Using the same bowl, add the dry ingredients over the wet ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Combine until everything is evenly incorporated.

- Add the donuts into the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes or until they are a beautiful golden brown. Transfer the donuts to a wire rack and allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let it cool slightly and then remove it from the pan to a wire rack to cool more.
- Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the donuts and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Enjoy! .
