Healthy Cookie Dough-Style Donuts with White Beans

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup White beans (cooked and rinsed)
• 0.5 cup Cashew butter (creamy)
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (for the shell)
• 1 tsp Coconut oil (to thin the chocolate)

Steps

1. 1

   In a food processor, combine the rinsed white beans, cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract.

2. 2

   Process the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.

3. 3

   Add the oat flour to the food processor and pulse until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.

4. 4

   Press the dough into a silicone donut mold, smoothing the tops with a spoon or your fingers.

5. 5

   Place the donut mold in the freezer for about 30-40 minutes to allow the donuts to set and become firm enough to handle.

6. 6

   While the donuts chill, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small bowl using 30-second intervals in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.

7. 7

   Remove the donuts from the freezer and carefully pop them out of the silicone mold.

8. 8

   Dip each donut into the melted chocolate to coat the top or the entire surface, then place on a parchment-lined tray.

9. 9

   Return the donuts to the fridge for 5-10 minutes until the chocolate shell is crunchy and set.
