How does Carolyn Scott's vegan Apple Cider Donuts recipe outperform traditional options?

Carolyn Scott-Hamilton’s vegan Apple Cider Donuts recipe is designed to be a “guilt free” fall treat that beats traditional versions in a few key ways:

• Vegan and dairy-free: Uses vegan butter and non-dairy milk, so it is kinder to animals and easier on those with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
• Gluten-free: Made with gluten-free all-purpose flour, so more people can enjoy donuts without the usual wheat flour.
• Refined sugar alternative: Sweetened with Lakanto monk fruit granulated sugar instead of regular sugar, lowering glycemic impact and cutting conventional empty calories.
• Baked, not fried: The donuts are baked in a donut pan, significantly reducing oil and overall fat compared to deep-fried traditional cider donuts.
