Very Cherry Doughnuts [Vegan]

What’s needed for a sweet indulgence?

One flaxseed-based vegan substitute for a chicken egg (made by mixing one tablespoon of ground flaxseed with two tablespoons of water).
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup agave
½ cup soy milk
¼ cup vegan butter
Optional: 1 teaspoon of cherry juice, which, while not essential, enhances the overall taste.
1 tsp vanilla
1½ tsp baking powder
Dash of salt
1/3 cup diced/chopped cherries
A few drops of red food colouring or, for a more natural alternative, 2-3 tablespoons of beet juice can be used to create a soft pink hue.

Approximately 1-2 cups of confectioners’ sugar; adjust to achieve the preferred texture.
1 tbs water
Two to three drops of vibrant red dye (or as a creative alternative, a few drops of beet juice for a natural pop of colour)

Combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of warm water in a small bowl to create a flax “egg,” whisk until well combined, and set aside.
Combine in a bowl the agave nectar, soy milk, flaxseed substitute for eggs, melted butter, cherry juice, and vanilla extract to form a smooth mixture.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt – into the mixture, ensuring a thorough amalgamation.
Preheat the donut pan by greasing each cavity with a thin layer of cooking spray or oil, then fill the prepared molds evenly with the desired amount of donut batter.
Preheat to 350°F and bake for approximately 15 minutes; adjust the cooking time as needed based on your oven’s specific characteristics. These toys will have a delightful “bounce” to them when gently patted with your fingertips.
Done? As you mix the icing with ease?
To make icing, whisk together granulated sugar, water, and a few drops of food coloring until smooth.
Indulge in the sweet freedom to customize your donuts with a generous spoonful of glaze, followed by a scattering of sprinkles, chocolate chips, or any other whimsical topping that stirs your imagination!
