Notes

Oil
Our family prefers coconut oil, but you can also use vegetable oil.
Sugar
For a zero-sugar recipe, swap out the sugar for stevia and do not add the sugar coating. 
Coating Variation
Remove for the sugar coating for those who do not like it. 
Servings
This recipe yields 6 donuts, however, if you want to cut the calories, you can divide the batter into 12 donuts.
