Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 1 cup (80g) Rolled oats, ground into a fine flour
- ½ cup (60g) Spelt flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ⅛ tsp each Nutmeg and Cinnamon
- 3 tbsp (79g) Vegan Greek yogurt
- 1 cup (240ml) Almond milk
Salted Caramel
- 1 tbsp (12g) Coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp (32g) Date syrup ((sub with honey or maple syrup) )
- 1 tbsp Tahini ((use a runny tahini))
- 6 tbsp (64ml) Almond milk or cashew milk
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F and grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
- Mix together the spelt flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and stevia powder. Pour the almond milk and vegan greek yogurt into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
- Add about 3 tbsp worth of the batter into each donut cavity and bake for 13-15 minutes until puffy and just brown.
- While the donuts bake, make the salted caramel glaze.
- Begin by adding in the coconut sugar (which you can substitute with monk fruit sugar), date syrup, tahini, cashew milk and salt into a pot. Turn the pot on medium-high heat and gently stir. After about 30 seconds, the mixture should begin to bubble and foam. Once the caramel reaches this stage you want to keep stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the color has changed from a light creamy beige to a darker amber color.
- Turn the heat off and continue to stir the caramel. Once the bubbles have subsided, you can run you spatula throughout the mixture. If the leaves a clean line when pulled though the caramel, you know it's done. Keep in mind that even though the caramel may look runny, it will set as it cools. Pour the caramel into a shallow bowl to easily dip the donuts into.
- Once the donuts are done baking, let cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then remove and dip in the salted caramel glaze. Finish the donuts with a light sprinkle of unsweetened coconut shreds, cacao nibs and flaky salt.
- Enjoy! Store the donuts at room temp or in the fridge in an airtight glass container.
