RECIPE (makes 16 small doughnuts)

1 cup of almond flour
1 cup wholegrain organic flour (for gluten free, use brown rice flour)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup of dates sugar (or any other unrefined sugar)
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk (I used oat milk)
1/4 cup of plant based yogurt
1/4 cup raw almond butter
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds, plus 4 tablespoons water (2 eggs substitute)

For the glaze:
50g of dates (soaked overnight)
1 Tbsp of Cocoa powder
2 cups of water

METHOD

Starting by mixing the flax seeds and water, so it can set aside to make the vegan egg.

Put the oven in at 180 degrees Celsius
I used a silicone doughnut mold, but you can add the mixture into a plastic bag and pipe circles on a parchment paper ont too of a baking tray instead.

I forgot to take a picture after I put the mixture into the mold…posting this picture so you can have an idea of what I am talking about. Sorry 😦

Add all the dried ingredients and mix it well then set aside.

In a separate container add the wet ingredients, including the vegan eggs and mix well.
Now add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well until smooth.
It’s ready to pipe and into the oven it goes for about 15 minutes. Then I check it with a toothpick to see if its done.

While it’s in the oven, prepare the glaze.

In a blender, add the soaked dates, 2 cups of water (use the water that you soak the dates too) and the ccocoa powder. Blend it well and transfer it to a saucepan.

Keep mixing it until gets to boil. Then continue cooking it until it reduces like a thick sauce.

Once the doughnuts are ready, go on and glaze the doughnuts with a brush and sprinkle with dried raspberries for extra flavour!

I hope you enjoy it!!!

Much love and gratitude!!!
