    • Whisk together the dry ingredients
    • In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients
      • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture one third at a time, mixing well (but don’t overmix)
      • Scoop mixture into a large zip top bag and cut off the bottom corner
      • Use this to squeeze the donut mixture into the prepared donut pan (this keeps it clean!)
      • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until donut springs back when you touch it
      • Remove to a wire rack (or plate, whatever works) to allow for cooling

    • Garnish with sprinkles!
