Vegan Coconut Chai Baked Donuts

You may be skeptical of a baked vegan donut, but give these egg- and dairy-free treats a chance. Coconut milk imparts a subtly sweet richness to the donut’s tender crumb, while the warming chai spices make these a June favorite for chilly days. You’ll need a donut pan, but once you’ve made that tiny investment you’ll wonder why everyone doesn’t have one. You’ll also need egg replacer for this recipe--Bob’s Red Mill makes a good one, but you can make it yourself by mixing 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds with 2 tablespoons hot chai tea and letting it sit a few minutes before adding it to the dough. Toasted coconut (toasted in the June!) lends a fun crunch. You’ll want to share these.
