After 30 minutes place dough on lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll dough out until dough is about 4mm thick.

Use your favourite cookie cutter to cute out shapes. Repeat with any excess dough.

1.5 Cups oat flour
2 tbs almond meal
2tsp Baking Powder
½ Cup Coconut Milk
1 roasted, Pureed Beetroot

Pour into greased tin lined with cupcake patties. Baked on 180°C for 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. This is when it starts to get messy. When cake has cooled and is at room temperature cut cake into small pieces (whichever size you prefer) and roll pieces individually into balls. Place in fridge while you make ingredients for the top.

I melted vegan white chocolate on top and decoarted mine and used natural colours for the holly on top.

Enjoy shared with Friends and Family, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎄🌟

Salted Caramel Explosion Doughnuts

Salted Caramel Explosion Doughnuts 

I n g r e d i e n t s:

2 cups of buckwheat flour
2 (Flax)Eggs
¼ cup of Coconut Milk.
¼ cup Maple syrup
3 Tbsp. Rice malt syrup
1 Tbsp. Coconut oil
2tbsp peanutbutter (unsalted, no added sugar)
2 tsp baking soda.
Vegan salted Caramel chocolate*

M e t h o d:

Place about 12 square of caramel chocolate onto baking paper and place into the freezer allow at least 30 minutes to an hour to freeze.

Blend together flax eggs, coconut milk, maple syrup, rice malt syrup, coconut oil and peanut butter. Slowly add the dry ingredients until all the ingredients are combine completely. The mixture should be thick.

Turn on fry pan to a medium/hot heat and add enough coconut oil to completely cover the bottom of the pan. (It's better to have more than not enough for this recipe)

Place a heaped table spoon of the batter in the frying pan for each doughnut, wait until it starts to rise, change colour and become slightly firm on top, before placing a 1-2 pieces (depending on size of batter) of caramel chocolate in the centre.

Using a spoon pull some of the semi-cooked batter of the doughnut around the sides of the caramel chocolate. Add a small dollop of new batter on the top and allow to keep cooking on that side until you see the new batter begin to firm up. Then flip your doughnut onto the other side.

Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly before serving. The outsides of your doughnut should be crispy and the middle soft with an explosion of caramel in the centre.

Enjoy!
