Equipment

  • donut pan

Ingredients
  

Wet ingredients

  • 1 cup apple cider (cooked down to 1/4 cups)
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 medium yellow plantain not over ripe - (yellow without brown spots and firm) approx. 1.25 cups of sliced plantain
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1/3 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry ingredients

  • 2/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup tigernut flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Cinnamon sugar coating

  • 2 Tbsp maple sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Start by placing 1 cup of apple cider in a small saucepan and cook on medium for about 20 minutes, until it has cooked down to about 1/4 cup.
  • In the meantime mix all the dry ingredients.
  • Add all the other wet ingredients into a blender - everything but the apple cider.
  • Once the apple cider has cooked down place it in a medium bowl and let it cool off for a few minutes. It doesn't have to be completely cool, but not hot anymore. In the meantime grease 8 holes of the donut pan with coconut oil until they are lightly coated.
  • Add apple cider concentrate to the blender and blend everything until smooth. Combine wet and dry mix to a thick batter.
  • Preheat oven to 350F. Place batter into 8 muffin pan holes. With your finger smoothen out the batter. Place in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let the donuts cool off for 5-10 minutes before removing them. You still want them to be a bit warm for the sugar to stick better.
  • Mix together maple sugar and cinnamon and coat the donuts with the sugar mix, by dunking both sides into the sugar-cinnamon mix and sprinkling some more on top. If you need more of the coating simply mix together more in the same ratio.
  • Enjoy
  • Store in an airtight container on the counter for a few days. It actually tastes even more intense.
