What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Sprouted Buckwheat Cake Doughnuts [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]

How To Make Sprouted Buckwheat Cake Doughnuts [Vegan, Raw, Gluten-Free]
- Combine everything in a food processor and process until a sticky dough forms.
- Wet your hands and then split the dough into four equal parts (more or less depending on how many donuts you want).
- Using your hands, roll each part into a ball and then use your thumbs to dig a center out of the ball. Continuously use your hands to smooth together the dough as you dig a hole in the center. This gives it the donut shape.
- Place on a mesh liner in a dehydrator and dehydrate at 145 for 3 hours. You can use lower temps for longer periods, just look for a hard outside and cakey inside.
- Top with your favorite frosting and enjoy! (here I used a cinnamon date paste (soaked dates, water and cinnamon blended) along with a vanilla coconut frosting (coconut butter, vanilla, coconut nectar).
Notes
To sprout buckwheat groats, put the groats in a bowl, add water to cover, and stir. Soak for only 15--20 minutes to avoid the gelatinous residue that forms with longer soaking. Drain in a sieve and rinse. Place the sieve over a bowl and cover with a towel. Sprout for 24--48 hours (depending on the room temperature), rinsing twice a day. When used in raw food recipes, buckwheat is measured after being sprouted.

Is there an alternative to a dehydrator?
