INGREDIENTS 

Donuts:

  • 1 cup oat flour

  • 1 cup coconut flour

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

  • 2 tablespoons carob powder

  • Pinch Himalayan salt

  • 1 cup gooey dates (pitted)

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Coconut milk, as needed

Icing:

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 1/4 cup almond butter

  • 1/4 cup cacao powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 

  • Coconut milk, as needed

EQUIPMENT 

Vitamix or Blender or Food Processor

DIRECTIONS

Donuts: Put all the ingredients in a food processor and process until the mixture becomes moist, fine and crumbly but will hold its shape when pressed between two fingers (add coconut milk until you get this consistency). Grease a donut mold with coconut oil then press the mixture into the donut mold and put in the freezer until solid. If you have extra mixture, throw in a lined bread pan for brownies!

Icing: Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and sooooo delicious (add coconut milk until you get this consistency). Don’t over blend or else the coconut oil will combine too much with the other ingredients and make it into one homologous mass. Dip the donuts into the icing or spread the icing on the donuts. Add the potentially existing extra icing to the potentially existing brownies. Enjoy! I sprinkled my donuts with almond slivers and coconut flour.
