Tips for Perfect Healthy Baked Donuts
- Don’t overmix the batter — that’s key for fluffiness.
- To make them vegan, swap the egg for a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).

Storage Tips for Baked Donuts
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for 2–3 days.
- Fridge: Up to 5 days; reheat slightly before serving.
