  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Lightly grease a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
