It’s just so damn yummy!

Simple Ingredients

Carrots
Raisins
Maple syrup
Chia seeds
Tahini
Walnuts
Coconut flour
Chickpea flour
Vanilla extract
Cinnamon

Raisins: yes you can replace them with dates if you prefer.

Chickpea flour: don’t replace it. If you are not used to baking with legume flours or lupini flour (40% protein), I encourage you to buy them to take your baking game to the next level!

How to Make Vegan Carrot Cake Donuts?

You need a food processor or blender and a bowl.

Add raisins, tahini, water to the food processor and mix until you have a paste.
In a bowl mix dry ingredients first, and then add everything else, including the raisin paste. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are combined.
Split the dough into 7 donuts.
Pop them in the oven a few minutes and enjoy.

Ingredients (US Customary)

1 medium grated carrot (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup raisins (or 5 large pitted medjool dates)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 2 tbsp water x 10-12 min)
2 tbsp tahini
1/2 cup crushed walnuts (or sunflower seeds for nut free version)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup water

Ingredients (Metric)

1 medium grated carrot (1/2 cup)
75 grs raisins (or 5 large pitted medjool dates)
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 chia egg (1 tbsp chia seeds soaked in 2 tbsp water x 10-12 min)
2 tbsp tahini
65 grs crushed walnuts (or sunflower seeds for nut free version)
62 grs coconut flour
46 grs chickpea flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
62 ml water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C).
Add raisins, tahini, water to the food processor and mix until you have a paste.
In a bowl mix dry ingredients first, and then add everything else, including the raisin paste. Mix with your hands until all ingredients are combined.
Split the dough into 7 parts and form 7 balls.
Press each ball from its center to create the donut shape and then cut a circle in the middle with whatever you have; even a pen would work. I don’t have a donut baking pan, so don’t worry if you don’t either.
Pop ‘em in the oven for 8 minutes, flip them over and give them another 5 minutes and enjoy.
