Ready In
- Whisk the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside. Beat the eggs and sugar together in a separate bowl; whisk the buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the egg mixture. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until no lumps of flour remain and the dough is firm enough to handle. Cover the bowl and refrigerate at least 10 minutes.
- Roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a generously-floured surface. Use a floured donut cutter to cut donut shapes out of the dough. Let the donuts stand for 5 to 10 minutes as the oil heats.
- Heat the frying oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Fry the donuts in the hot oil in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.

I made these with an electric mini doughnut griddle instead of frying, so that probably changes the taste. Made this way, these donuts definitely tasted healthy, so I wouldn't recommend them to...

These are delicious! I would never think of giving my two year old a donut unless there was something nutritious in them (he is terribly fussy and likes sweets). He is always asking for another ...

Flavor was okay on these, but I had to add a lot more flour to get them to any sort of rolling consistency. And that made them tough when they cooled. Recipe doesn't work in my opinion.

I made these for my dad because he's diabetic. they were a bit dull. it wasn't untill I Melted some butter and mixed it with brown sugar and tossed the donuts in that they became delicious.

These were good as is, although I like a lot of glaze on my glazed donuts so next time will probably double the batch for that part.

I replaced the flaxseed with more flour, and added a hint of vanilla. they were delicious!

These did not turn out at all. I followed the recipe exactly. They were tasteless and tough.
