Savory Donut

Savory Avocado Donut (gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, low sugar)

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp coconut flour
• 1/2 cup arrowroot
• 1/2 cup millet flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp flaxmeal
• 1/3 cup xylitol
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• 1/2 cup mashed avocado (about 1/2 of an avocado)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 tbsp coconut oil (liquid)

Place all dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk together. Next add in the avocado, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and end with water.

Stir till well combined. Scoop into donut pan (lightly greased with coconut oil) and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 14-16 minutes or till toothpick comes out clean.

Carefully remove from donut pan and let cool as you make your frosting.

Sweet and Savory Avocado Frosting:

Take the other half of your avocado. Add in 1/4 tsp spirulina (for green color), 2 tbsp lucuma powder (we used this to be our sweetness) and 2-3 tbsp water and mix till well combined.

*You may use maple syrup or agave nectar instead of lucuma and omit the water. Or you can use regular powdered sugar instead of lucuma.

We our topped our savory avocado donuts with a little cacao nibs and pink sea salt!

Assemble:

Take lightly cooled donuts and smear the avocado frosting on top.

*Note: this donuts are a little delicate due to not have xanthan or guar gum in it. So be careful when putting frosting on so they don’t crumble everywhere. Next time we might try increasing the flaxmeal to see if it holds the donuts better.
