ingredients
For the Donuts
- 185g gluten-free flour
- ⅔ tsp baking powder
- 75g brown sugar
- 35g vegan chocolate chips
- 45g Loving Earth coconut oil, melted (+ extra for greasing the doughnut tin)
- 1.5 tablespoons ground flax seeds + 4.5 tablespoons water
- 1.5 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 95 ml vegan yoghurt
For the Topping
- 50g of Loving Earth Dark Chocolate chocolate
- A splash of almond milk
- Handful of chopped activated Brazil nuts
- Handful of Loving Earth cacao nibs
method
- Step 1 :Get all your ingredients out onto your work surface, weighed and ready to go. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/160F. Grease the circles of your doughnut tin with coconut oil and set aside.
- Step 2 :In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients - the flour, baking powder and sugar until nicely combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix in well. Set aside.
- Step 3 :Over a very low heat, melt the coconut oil. As this is melting, combine the ground flax seeds with the water in a small bowl and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Step 4 :Mix together the melted coconut oil, the mashed bananas, the yoghurt and the water/flax seed mixture, until nicely combined.
- Step 5 :Next pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If the mixture looks too dry, please add another spoon full of yoghurt.
- Step 6 :Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe circles of dough into the prepared doughnut tin. Spread evenly. Bake for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
- Step 7 :Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Step 8 :As the donuts are cooling, prepare the glaze by melting the chocolate in a bowl placed over a pan with water that's been gently brought to the boil. When the chocolate has melted, add a splash of almond milk and stir in until dissolved. You may wish to add a splash of maple syrup too if you like.
- Step 9 :Once the donuts have cooled down, dip them in the chocolate glaze, sprinkle with nuts, cacao nibs or more chocolate chips and enjoy.
