Homemade Doughnuts

If you're looking to make homemade doughnuts without eggs, you can substitute one egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup of mashed banana. This will help bind the ingredients together while keeping the doughnuts moist.

To store homemade doughnuts, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, you can freeze them. Just make sure to wrap each doughnut individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Yes, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier option. However, keep in mind that the texture may be denser. You might want to use a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour to maintain a lighter texture while still adding some whole grain benefits.

Homemade doughnuts can be topped with a variety of delicious options! You can dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, or frost them with chocolate or vanilla icing. For an extra treat, consider adding sprinkles, crushed nuts, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce. Pair them with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a delightful snack!

To check if the oil is hot enough for frying doughnuts, you can use a thermometer to ensure it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
