How to Prepare Chocolate Fruit and Nut Doughnut Cookies [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Pre-heat oven to 360^oF and grease a doughnut pan.
Add rolled oats, sultanas, coconut, sugar, chia or flax, and tea to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Add the oats, dates, and almonds to a blender and pulse to chop the date and almonds then add the oil and syrup and pulse so that it covers all of the ingredients, then tip into the bowl with the sultana mix.
Add the water and aquafaba and mix through with a spoon until it is fully incorporated then get into it with your hands so that it turns into a doughy mixture that holds together.
Spoon into the doughnut molds and press down.
Bake for 12-13 minutes in the top 1/3 of the oven, no fan. Remove from oven and then allow to cool before taking out of the molds.

Notes

Rolled oats can be substituted for the quinoa but they won't be grain free Raw, sprouted and dehydrated buckwheat adds a nice crunch, if you don't have any or can't get them you could use some rice crispies. If you can't get Lemon Myrtle Black tea then break open a black tea bag and add 1 tsp of lemon zest. Raw carob is also a really special ingredient, naturally sweet it goes exceptionally well with chocolate.
