Carnival chocolate vegan doughnuts

The carnival is here again! And we all know very well what that means. Carnival doughnuts!

Why give up carnival goodies if you can make a completely healthy and vegan version of the traditional dessert. Carnival is so easy to conjure up – with chocolate vegan doughnuts.

All the ingredients just need to be thoroughly mixed together and they are ready to bake.

Vegan American doughnuts are perfect to enjoy with a nice cup of tea or coffee, for breakfast or dessert. You can decorate them with different toppings, in any colour and sprinkle with your favourite ingredients. You can even add chocolate pieces or fresh fruit into the dough. The possibilities are endless. The only special tool you will need is an American doughnut pan. We strongly recommend that you get at least one. If you don’t have it and want to make a similar shape right now, try using a muffin pan. No worries. They will be just as delicious. 😊

INGREDIENTS

Doughnuts:

1 ripe banana
150 mL of almond milk
1 tablespoon almond rice drink
3 tablespoons chocolate peanut butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
120g oat flakes
60g ground almonds
40g coconut sugar
30g cacao powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoons Himalayan salt
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons Agave syrup

Filling:

3 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons cacao powder
4 tablespoons coconut sugar

Coconut/ Sprinkles

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease the doughnut pan with coconut oil.
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor till smooth.
Using a tablespoon, fill the doughnut pan crevises to the top. Bake the doughnuts for about 20 minutes until they are golden brown and fluffy.
Take them out of the oven and leave them to rest in the pan for an extra 15 minutes.
When they have cooled, you can glaze them. Make the glaze out of melted coconut butter, cacao and coconut sugar. You can even spread peanut butter on them and sprinkle with coconut or sprinkles.
