    For making these Cinnamon Vanilla Donuts I used all HEALTHY ingredients - whole grain flour, maple syrup, and coconut oil, and I used spices - vanilla and Ceylon cinnamon to give donuts this amazing flavor and scent. In takes just about 15 minutes in the oven, and donuts are ready for coating with my favorite raw dark chocolate. 

    This time I decorated these donuts with colorful sprinkles, but you can sprinkle these with shredded coconut, carob, poppy seeds or ground nuts. The options are numerous.

      Hello! Any thoughts on why my donuts didn’t rise much or evenly? They rose only on the pan side of the donut, not the top, rather than fully risen like normal.

        The only thing that comes to my mind is position of the oven rack. Was in the middle? Hot oven air should circulate evenly from all sides. Or maybe was too little mixture in the donut pan. Try filling the pan more.
