Instructions
Make the Gingerbread Doughnuts
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil 9 doughnut cavities of a doughnut pan (or a couple of doughnut pans).
  2. In medium bowl, whisk together milk, oil, molasses, maple syrup and flaxseeds. Set aside.
  3. In large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Add wet mixture and stir just until blended.
  4. Divide mixture into doughnut cavities. Bake 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Make the Apple Cider Glaze
  1. Stir ingredients together in a small bowl, adding more powdered sugar if the mixture seems to thin, more apple cider if it seems to thick.
Glaze the Dougnuts
  1. Dip tops of doughnuts into glaze. Transfer to plate and allow to sit until glaze firms up. Dip opposite sides and transfer to plate again, and allow to sit until glaze is completely firm.
Recipe Notes

The recipe makes enough glaze to cover both sides of doughnuts, even though I've only shown one side glazed in the photos. (It just looks cooler that way!)
