1 tsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease a 6-hole donut tin.
  2. Place the banana(s), maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk, beetroot concentrate, vinegar and vanilla in a blender and whizz up until smooth.
  3. Mix the oat flour, ground almonds, flaxseeds, cinnamon, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl.
  4. Pour in the wet ingredients and mix well to form a pink batter.
  5. Divide this between the donut holes to reach the top and smooth out. Bake for 20 minutes, until risen and firm. Leave to cool then turn out onto a wire rack.
  6. Meanwhile make the frosting: Beat together the ingredients and keep in the fridge until needed.
  7. When your donuts have cooled, spread each donut with the frosting to cover, then sprinkle with freeze-dried raspberries. Now enjoy!

Keep any remaining donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
