I am Soooo excited to share my own first recipe with you guys!!!
I felt like something chocolatey and thought I’d try making some raw donuts.
What is raw?
I know it might sound strange but it’s just not baked. There’s no raw eggs or anything. It’s nuts, fruit, cocoa and some seasoning. Which equates to amazing deliciousness!!
Why raw?
Sometimes when you cook food it looses a lot of it’s nutritional value. That’s why in Holistic Health we tell people to reduce as much processed foods as possible, eat whole foods, one ingredient foods like vegetables, fruit, whole grains. Processed foods are any foods that have anything change made to them. Breads are processed, any form of bread even the healthiest. Pureed fruit is processed, coconut oil is processed.
Raw foods retain all of the good stuff to their full potential!
Enough chit chat let’s get to the good stuff!
Raw Chocolate Fudge Donuts
- 1 cup medjool dates
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup almonds
- 1tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1/2 tsp salt
Peanut Butter Drizzle
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 2.5 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 Tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
Directions
- Grease with coconut oil a silicone or metal donut pan. If you donut have one, donut worry! (see what I did there??) You can shape the dough into a donut shape!
- Put all donut ingredients into a food processor and blend until well combined.
- Fill the donut pan with the dough, or shape into little circles with your hands and place on a greased pan or plate.
- Place in the freezer for half an hour to set.
- While that sets, mix the Peanut Drizzle ingredients together and warm so they melt. You can do this by heating in a saucepan on low. It won’t take long at all.
- Take the donuts out of the freezer and pop out of the pan and put on to a plate. Use a spoon to drizzle the peanut butter over the donuts and cover them well.
- Stick these back in the freezer so the Peanut Butter solidifies again.
These should be kept in the fridge or freezer in an air tight container. They’ll keep for 4-5 days in the fridge, or a month in the freezer.
Two of these make a great treat for the week!! Hope you enjoy them!
