These delicious lemon baked donuts happen to be gluten-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free, and vegan, so they're pretty much for everybody! They're my kind of donuts, full of flavor, fun, and nutritious ingredients. Goes well with Sweet Potato Rose Frosting (pictured).____________________________Plant Diversity: Striving for 30 different plants per weekThe number of plants in this recipe: at least 7 plants

Equipment
large bowl and spoon or a bowl and hand/stand mixer
12-donut pan(s) I use two 6-donut pans
oven
hand juicer
zester
spoon or spatula for placing dough in pan
table knife for testing doneness
Ingredients
1cupalmond flouror tiger nut flour
1cupoat flourmake sure it's gluten-free if needed
½cuppotato starch
1tablespoonbaking powder
1 ½tablespoonschia seedspreferably black
1tablespoonlemon zestnot packed (about 2 medium lemons)
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, like that of a stand mixer.
While stirring, add the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.Set the oven to 350 F.*
Fill each section of the pan equally, about ⅔ full.
Bake the donuts for about 15 minutes, until they’re a bit springy and a knife comes out mostly clean. Tip: This is a good time to make frosting. (See above for additional frosting options.)
Let the donuts cool completely before eating or frosting. This helps prevent crumbling or sticking.
Frosting: To frost the donuts, place frosting in a bowl. Holding the donut firmly, dip the top of the donut into the frosting and twist, working to cover the whole top of the donut with frosting. Pull the donut away as you twist. If the donut needs more frosting, simply dip again.
If using, sprinkle the dried rose petals over the top and serve.
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a few days in the fridge or a few months in the freezer.
Notes
*My donut pans are nonstick, and as long as I allow my donuts to fully cool before removing, they don't stick. You may find you'd prefer to use a cooking spray. For an oil-free version, try sprinkling the pan with water and then a dusting of oat flour before adding the dough to the pans.The frosting pictured is Vegan Sweet Potato Rose Frosting.
