Baked Donuts

June 1st is National Donut Day.  We definitely had to celebrate!  The only downside, is I am still on a pretty strict diet, and donuts are a big no-no for healthy eating.  So I googled and found a blogger who made baked donuts.  Perfect!
The recipe calls for sugar, and I wanted to make them sugar free, so I substituted agave nectar for the sugar and then decreased the amount of milk, but in my excitement, I didn't read the recipe and totally messed up.  I fixed it as best as I could though, and in the end it must have worked, because they were delicious!!
The recipe is:
Dry Ingredients
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients
1/2 cup soy milk
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Egg replacer for 1 egg
4 TBS margarine

Icing Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 TBS soy milk

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Whisk wet ingredients together over the stopetop on low.  Do not let the mixture get too hot, just warm to the touch.  Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  Add the wet to the dry mix.  Do not over mix.  The batter will be very sticky.  Form in to donut shapes on a pan, handling the dough while your hands are very wet to avoid it sticking to you.
Bake for 12 minutes.  You don't want them to brown, but they should slowly pop up when pressed with a finger.  Cool on a wire rack, then decorate.
