Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato (Medium; boiled, peeled, and mashed into about 2/3–3/4 cup puree)
- 1 cup self-rising flour (Alternatively, use 1 cup all-purpose flour with the baking powder and salt listed below)
- 2 tbsp coconut cinnamon sugar (Use 2–4 tbsp, adjusting according to desired sweetness; used in the dough)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (Optional DIY substitute for the self-rising flour; do not use together with self-rising flour)
- 1.5 tsp baking powder (For the DIY flour substitute)
- salt (A pinch, for the DIY flour substitute)
- maple syrup (For the Choco-Silk glaze; amount not specified)
- cacao powder (For the Choco-Silk glaze; amount not specified)
- coconut sugar (For the Cinnamon Classic coating; amount not specified)
- cinnamon (For the Cinnamon Classic coating; amount not specified)
- cooking oil (For frying; amount not specified)
Steps
- 1
Boil the medium sweet potato, then peel and mash it until smooth, yielding about 2/3–3/4 cup puree.
- 2
Combine the sweet-potato puree, flour, and coconut cinnamon sugar. If using the DIY flour option, use all-purpose flour with baking powder and a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- 3
Roll the dough out fairly thick on a work surface.
- 4
Use a small glass to cut circles from the rolled dough.
- 5
Press the back of a ladle into the center of each dough circle to create and remove the center, forming donut shapes.
- 6
Heat cooking oil over a low flame. Fry the donuts for 1–2 minutes per side, using the low heat to help keep the centers fluffy and airy.
- 7
For the Choco-Silk glaze, mix maple syrup and cacao powder until smooth and shiny, then use it to glaze the donuts.
- 8
For the Cinnamon Classic coating, toss the warm donuts with coconut sugar and cinnamon.
Notes
The source does not specify the frying oil type, exact oil quantity, glaze proportions, yield, or dough thickness beyond describing it as fairly thick. Choose either self-rising flour or the DIY flour substitute, not both.
