• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Grease the donut pans.  
• In a medium-size bowl, add all dry ingredients.  Stir to combine.  
• In a separate bowl or jar, add plant-based milk, apple sauce, and vanilla bean paste or extract.  Stir to combine.  
• Melt the vegan margarine (or coconut oil), set it aside.  
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and add the melted vegan margarine (or coconut oil).  Stir to combine.  It should form a nice batter.  
• Add batter to a piping bag or use a plastic ziplock bag.  Cut the corner and pipe the batter into the donut pan.  
• Bake for 10-11 minutes.  
• Let cool for a couple of minutes and then remove from the pan.  
• For an easy decoration option, roll donuts in sugar and cinnamon, or for a fancier option, dip in a glaze and decorate with sprinkles or edible rose petals.  

Glaze:

• Powdered sugar (1 cup)
• Water (or lemon juice for a brighter flavor) (2-3 teaspoons)
• Mix.  It should be thick enough that it will stay on the donut.  (Ask me how I know that one:))
