 ¼ cup Canola Oil
 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
 1 cup Flour, all-purpose

1

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugars and egg at medium speed until lightened in color and well combined, 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add melted butter, oil, and vanilla; beat at medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. With mixer on medium-low speed, add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until smooth and combined after each addition, stopping to scrape sides of bowl.

4

Spray a 6-well Nordic Ware Classic Donut Pan with baking spray with flour.

5

Spoon batter into 2 large piping bags; cut a ½-inch opening in each tip. Pipe batter into prepared wells. Firmly tap pan on counter several times to spread batter and release any air bubbles.

6

Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes; invert doughnuts onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.

7

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; place a wire rack on prepared pan, and spray with cooking spray.

8

Working quickly, place a doughnut in Chocolate Glaze; use a spoon or a small silicone spatula to coat completely. Using 2 forks placed on opposite sides under doughnut, gently lift out of glaze, letting excess drip off; transfer to prepared rack. Use the point of a wooden pick to pop any air bubbles in glaze. Garnish with sprinkles, if desired. Repeat with remaining doughnuts. Let stand until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
