Instructions

FOR THE DOUGHNUTS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and lightly oil a doughnut pan
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the oat flour, GF flour, baking soda and salt together until well combined. Add the applesauce, almond milk, aquafaba, maple syrup, vanilla, jam, lime juice and zest and stir until just combined. You don’t want to over do it, and you don’t want to see any clumps of flour.
  • Drop the batter into the doughnut pan and fill almost to the top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the pan and cool on a wire rack.

FOR THE FROSTING

  • Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. They should be soft and puffy. Put them in a food processor or blender and add the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape the frosting into a small bowl and dip the tops of the doughnuts in the frosting. Sprinkle with the lime zest and enjoy! See Note for tips.

Notes

The Nutrition Facts are an estimate only. For best results, soak the cashews overnight in the refrigerator. If you’re in a hurry, you can boil the cashews for about 10 minutes, until they’re soft and puffy. For the best taste, enjoy the doughnuts the day you make them. The frosting will be best on the first day. Or, store the frosting in the bowl in the refrigerator and frost as you eat them. The frosting will last for 3 days. You will probably need to whisk it and add a bit more lime juice to get it to the right consistency.
