Chia Cinnamon Doughnuts

(1)
"These are made the same way as energy balls, and I actually prefer eating these when they are quite hard, straight from the freezer. If you are not a huge fan of cinnamon, you can simply take this out and use vanilla or maca powder instead."

ingredients

For the doughnuts

  • 85 gram desiccated coconut
  • 200 gram Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 100 gram brown rice syrup or maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp almond butter
  • 4 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk

ingredients

For the chocolate glaze

  • 100 milliliter coconut oil, melted
  • 60 gram cacao powder
  • 50 gram maple syrup

Method

For the doughnuts

  • Step 1

    You will need a small silicone doughnut mould for this recipe.

  • Step 2

    Place your oats into the food processor and process well to break them down into a flour.

  • Step 3

    Add all your remaining doughnut ingredients and blend until well combined. Roll the mixture into sausages and press these firmly into the moulds. Place the doughnuts in the freezer for 2 hours.

For the chocolate glaze

  • Step 1

    Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl, then use the glaze immediately. Pop the doughnuts out of their moulds and onto a wire rack, with parchment paper lining the surface underneath. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts in a back and forth motion across the top, or use a small piping bag for better accuracy. Put them back into the freezer to firm up for at least an hour. Enjoy.
