Chocolate raw vegan donuts with vanilla icing

I’ve been obsessing over raw vegan donuts for years now so I finally decided to share my recipe. I’ll post other flavours eventually, but I’ll start with my favourite : raw chocolate donuts with vanilla cashew icing. This is a no bake dessert recipe, it’s very quick to make (and eat lol). Enjoy!

Raw vegan donuts

• 5tbsp water
• 7tbsp agave or maple syrup
• 1tsp vanilla extract
• 2 medjool dates
• 1/4c almond butter
• 1c almond flour

• 1/2c raw cacao powder

Instructions
1- Combine water, agave, vanilla, dates & almond butter in a blender and purée until smooth.
2- Mix almond flour, protein powder & raw cacao powder in a big bowl
3- Combine wet and dry ingredients together and form a big ball with your hands
4- Place the ball between 2 teflex sheets (or wax paper) & flatten with a roller
5- Cut donuts using round cookie cutters
6- Smooth the edges with your fingers if you’re as OCD as me :p (optional)
7- Set in freezer while you make the icing (this will allow the icing to set faster)
