Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a donut pan or use non-stick donut pan without greasing.
- Mix flax and water to make your flax egg and set aside for 5 minutes or until thick.
- Mix dry ingredients in a bowl (gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice).
- Mix wet ingredients in a bowl (flax egg, maple syrup, milk, applesauce, vanilla) and then combine with the dry ingredients. Mix until there are no lumps.

Notes
Serve immediately! They are honestly best when served straight out of the oven. No one likes an old donut!
If you do eat them the next day, heat them up in the microwave for 20 second to freshen.
