Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C/ 380 F/ Gas Mark 4. Grease a doughnut pan well, using either butter or coconut oil.
- Whisk together orange essence, milk, maple syrup/ honey, brown sugar, olive oil, apple cider vinegar and vanilla. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until smooth. Fill doughnut moulds 2/3rds of the way and bake for 10-12 minutes, until doughnuts are slightly springy to the touch. Leave to cool completely before carefully removing from moulds.
