Rawtella Donut Recipe
YOU WILL NEED
Donuts
3/4 cup + 1tbs almond meal
1/4 cup arrowroot flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 large free range egg
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 cup rice malt syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
1 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs maple syrup
cinnamon sugar
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Rawtella
1 cup hazelnuts
2 tbs cacao butter
3 tbs coconut oil melted
3 tbs cacao powder
4 tbs coconut cream
1/2 cup rice malt syrup
1 – 2 tsp stevia (depending on how sweet you like it)
METHOD
- To create the small round donuts I used a tray that had half circles.
- Prepare the tray by spraying it with coconut oil. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- In a large bowl, place the almond meal, arrowroot flour, bicarb soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon and combine.
- In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, milk, rice malt syrup, maple syrup and softened coconut oil together until runny.
- Transfer the wet mixture into the dry and whisk by hand until mixture is well combined and resembles a cake mixture.
- Transfer mixture to donut tray and bake for 4-6 minutes. They cook extremely quickly so keep watch.
- Remove from oven and lay on a baking tray to cook. Roll them in your coconut sugar mixture and set aside.
- To make the Rawtella, combine all the ingredients in a small food processer / blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Add a tbs of water at a time if needed to help get the mixture moving.
- Using a straw, pierce a hole in the donut and wriggle it around to create a nice deep space. Spoon Rawtella into a piping bag, and pipe into the hole created.
