Ingredients
  

Dry Donut Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Sprouted Spelt Flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Earl Grey Tea Sachets

Wet Donut Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 Cup Strongly Brewed Earl Grey Tea
  • 1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbs Coconut Oil Melted
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Almond Butter Caramel

  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Nectar
  • 1/4 Almond Butter

Coconut Whipped Cream

  • 1 Can Full-Fat Coconut Milk Refrigerated Overnight
  • Drizzle of Maple Syrup

Garnishes

  • Blood Orange Zest
  • Coconut Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, whisk together dry ingredients - spelt flour, baking soda, baking powder, and the tea from two Earl Grey tea sachets.
  • In a smaller bowl, mix all wet ingredients until evenly combined.
  • Fold wet ingredients into dry, stirring until everything is evenly mixed, making sure there aren't any clumps of flour.
  • Spray your donut pan with coconut oil or another vegetable-based oil. Pour batter evenly into the donut molds.
  • Bake donuts in the oven for 15 minutes. When done, be sure to let the donuts cool completely before topping with caramel and coconut whipped cream.
  • While donuts are baking, make the caramel - just mix the coconut nectar and maple syrup completely until they're evenly combined.
  • Then, make the coconut cream. Take the can of coconut milk out of the refrigerator and gently scoop out the milk solids from the top into a bowl.
  • Using a stand mixer, mix the coconut milk solids until a fluffy cream is formed, about 5 minutes. (You can also use a whisk, but it will just take a bit longer!) Add in a drizzle of maple syrup and mix in until it's evenly combined.
  • To assemble the donuts, remove from pan and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the almond butter caramel, then top with a scoop of the coconut cream. Garnish with blood orange zest and coconut sugar, if desired.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

To make the strongly brewed Earl Grey tea, add two tea sachets to 1/4 cup hot water. Let tea steep for 5 minutes then remove sachets.
