Chocolate festive spiced raw vegan doughnuts
Get into the festive spirit and try out these gluten-free spiced doughnuts – they are simply loaded with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats of dried fruit, nuts and seeds. Deliciously coated with pure dairy-free real dark chocolate, not only do they pack a nutritional punch but they are truly indulgent and naturally sweetened with just maple syrup.
- 150 g gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brown rice flour
- 100 g chopped dates
- 50 g walnuts
- 3 tablespoons almond butter
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons mixed spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating:
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 5 tablespoons cacao powder
- Pinch of sea salt
To decorate:
- goji berries
- dried cranberries
- walnuts
- pumpkin seeds
- cacao nibs
- Edible glitter (if you can get your hands on some!)
- First make the donut mixture: Simply place all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz up for at least 30 seconds until a soft dough forms.
- Line 4 donut holes in a tin with clingfilm. Now divide the mixture into 4 and press it into the ring of each one to reach the top, making sure to push it firmly together with your fingers. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Once firmed up, place the donuts on a wire rack. Melt the coconut oil and maple syrup then whisk in the cacao powder and sea salt until smooth. Use a teaspoon to coat each donut with the raw chocolate then scatter over your chosen toppings onto each one.
- Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up again.
- When ready to serve, remove from the fridge, spray with edible glitter and enjoy!
