Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, brown sugar, and molasses until smooth.
Gradually add the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt; stir until just combined.
Fill each donut mold about two-thirds full with batter.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

For added sweetness, consider drizzling with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
You can substitute the spices based on personal preference—add cloves for extra warmth or use whole-wheat flour for a healthier twist.
