Directions
Lavender Donuts
- Step 1
Steep warm water with 1 tablespoon of dried lavender for 25-30 minutes. While tea is steeping, preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a standard donut pan with allergy friendly oil or vegan butter. Strain lavender tea and set aside.
- Step 2
Process flaxseed and remaining 1 teaspoon of dried lavender in a food processor until finely ground. In a small mixing bowl, combine mixture with lavender tea. Whisk well and set aside for a minimum of 5 minutes. This will serve as your “egg” in the recipe.
- Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine flaxseed mixture with oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and vinegar; mix until well combined. Sift in flour, salt, and baking soda. Once dry ingredients have been sifted in, mix batter until just combined.
- Step 4
Spoon batter into greased donut pan, evenly filling each donut mold to ¾ full. Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Allow donuts to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack for remainder of cooling.
- Step 5
Decorate donuts by tossing in powdered sugar, granulated sugar, or with Wild Blueberry Glaze [recipe below].
