Recipe type: Dessert
Yield: 6 doughnuts
Ingredients
- Coconut oil for greasing doughnut pan
Doughnuts:
- 2-1/2 cups large flake coconut flakes
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 green plantain, peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- ⅓ cup apple cider
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup cassava flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Gelatin "Egg:"
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons boiling water
Topping:
- 2 tablespoons apple cider
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar, powdered in a food processor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a medium-sized doughnut pan with some coconut oil.
- In a food processor, process the coconut flakes with the coconut oil until it turns into a course coconut butter.
- Add the plantain and process until very smooth.
- Add the coconut sugar, and apple cider and process until very smooth.
- Make the gelatin egg: Whisk the water and gelatin mixture into the hot water until VERY frothy. Add to food processor and process until very smooth. Process longer than you think is necessary in order to beat some air into the batter.
- Add the baking soda, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, salt, and cassava flour and process until smooth and mixed.
- Scoop evenly into the greased doughnut pan (this is recipe makes 6 doughnuts).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and let them cool completely; it's tempting to just eat them warm but the inside will have a much better texture if they're not hot. You can pop them in the freezer to speed up this process.
- For the topping: Melt the coconut oil with the apple cider.
- Spread the coconut sugar out on a plate.
- Lightly brush each doughnut with the coconut oil mixture and dredge in the coconut sugar to coat.
- Enjoy!!
Notes
Process the batter in the food processor about ten times as long as you think you need to; it helps beat air into the batter!
Apple cider is essentially fresh-pressed raw unfiltered apple juice. I made my own my pureeing peeled apples and straining though a cheesecloth.
