ingredients

For the doughnuts

  • 240 gram jumbo rolled oats, weighed out into 80g and 160g bowls
  • 150 gram cashews, soaked in water overnight
  • 200 gram Medjool dates, pitted
  • 2 tbsp maple or brown rice syrup
  • 1 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt

ingredients

For the vanilla glaze

  • 200 gram coconut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder

Method

For the doughnuts

  • Step 1

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

  • Step 2

    First, put the 80g of rolled oats into a food processor and blend them into a flour. Drain and rinse the cashews, discarding the soaking water, then add them to the oat flour with all your remaining doughnut ingredients, and blend until a moist dough forms.

  • Step 3

    Roll the mixture into sausages and then firmly press them into the moulds. Place the doughnuts in the freezer for 2 hours to set.

For the vanilla glaze

  • Step 1

    Put the coconut butter in a saucepan on a low heat and warm for just long enough to let it melt and become glossy. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the vanilla into the butter.

  • Step 2

    Pop the doughnuts out of their moulds and onto a wire rack, with parchment paper lining the surface underneath.

  • Step 3

    Dunk each of your doughnuts into the glaze top down, twist and pull out gently. You will need to repeat this step to get a thick enough glaze. Time is of the essence to do this before your glaze hardens, so work fast to glaze all your doughnuts.

  • Step 4

    Keep them in the freezer and take out 10 minutes before serving.
