Ingredients:
For the doughnuts:
- 2 cups Tony Ferguson Rolled Oats ground into flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1¼ cups milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon Tony Ferguson Coconut Oil
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Tony Ferguson Cinnamon Spice
For the sugar coating:
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons Tony Ferguson Cinnamon Spice
Method:
- Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: Tony Ferguson Rolled Oats ground, coconut sugar, a pinch of salt, baking soda, baking powder, and Tony Ferguson Cinnamon Spice. Stir these together until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In the same bowl, add the wet ingredients including the milk, Tony Ferguson Coconut Oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture just enough to form a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Pipe the Batter: Lightly spray a doughnut baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Scoop the batter into a piping bag and neatly pipe it into the doughnut pan. Gently tap the pan on your counter to level the batter evenly.
- Bake the Donuts: Place the doughnut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The doughnuts should rise and turn a light golden colour. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and tender.
- Cool and Coat: After baking, let the doughnuts cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove them. This patience ensures they hold their shape. Once cooled, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating by mixing coconut sugar and Tony Ferguson Cinnamon Spice in a shallow dish. Roll each doughnut in the mixture until well coated.
