How to Prepare Raw Apple Cider Doughnuts [Vegan]

Juice about 1-2 apples and set the liquid aside
Process the oats in a food processor until it turns into flour.
Add in the Brazil nuts and process again until fine.
Add the rest of the dry ingredients and process once more.
Put the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the apple cider.
Spread the mixture into a donut pan and dehydrate at 165°F for one hour (the food will not reach 165°F because of water evaporation, therefore, it is still raw).
Turn down the thermostat to 105°F and dehydrate for another 3-4 hours.
Take the doughnuts out of the pan by prying them with a knife or turning them over and tapping on the back until they pop out.

Notes

You can either refrigerate them and before serving, dehydrate at 165°F for about 30 minutes more (or until warm), or you can serve them right away. If you don't have a dehydrator, use your oven at the lowest temperature possible and keep the door cracked open to allow ventilation. Times vary so keep your eye out.
