method:
- First make the donut mixture: Simply place all the ingredients into a food processor and whizz up for at least 30 seconds until a soft dough forms.
- Line 4 donut holes in a tin with clingfilm. Now divide the mixture into 4 and press it into the ring of each one to reach the top, making sure to push it firmly together with your fingers. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Once firmed up, place the donuts on a wire rack. Melt the coconut oil and maple syrup then whisk in the cacao powder and sea salt until smooth. Use a teaspoon to coat each donut with the raw chocolate then scatter over your chosen toppings onto each one.
- Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up again.
- When ready to serve, remove from the fridge, spray with edible glitter and enjoy!
