Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sourdough starter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 water
• 1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 egg (or 1 T ground flax seed mixed with 3 T water for vegan)
• 2 t baking powder
• 1 t vanilla extract (or more to taste)
• 1/2 t salt
• 3/4 t freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
• 1/2 t cinnamon (optional but recommended)

Directions

• 1. The night before you bake the donuts, combine starter, maple syrup or honey, water, flour, milk and olive oil in a bowl, mixing well.
• 2. Cover with plastic wrap, and leave the batter out at room temperature overnight. You can leave it out up to 24 hours.
• 3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees when you are ready bake.
• 4. Mix in egg, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla to the sourdough batter. This works best with an electric mixer.
• 5. Spoon batter into a greased donut pan, filling each mold 3/4 of the way. The batter may be a bit stretchy.
• 6. Bake for 20-22 minutes in a standard pan or 9 minutes in a mini donut pan.
• 7. Donuts are done when they are a golden brown.
• 8. Top with your favorite glaze, frosting, roll in cinnamon and sugar, or eat them plain (boring lol)
