Ingredients:
1 1/2 Cup (25g) – Puffed Rice
1/2 Cup (55g) – Rolled Oats (Gluten Free if necessary)
1/2 Cup (135g) – Peanut Butter
1/4 Cup (60ml) – Maple Syrup or Honey
1 1/2 Tbsp. (22.5ml) – Coconut Oil, melted
1 Tsp (5ml) – Vanilla Essence

• Chocolate of your choice (Optional)

• You are going to need a blender or food processor.
(If you don’t have one place the puffed rice into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to help crush the puffed rice into smaller pieces. It helps to mould the donuts so they don’t fall apart).

Method:
• Add the puffed rice into your blender and give it a good blend. Just enough to break the puffed rice into smaller pieces.
• Add the puffed rice pieces and rolled oats into a mixing bowl and mix it through.
• In another mixing bowl, add the rest of ingredients together and mix it well.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the puffed rice and rolled oats and mix it until well combined.
• Place the mixture in the fridge and let it cool for about 30min.
• Once cooled, divide the mixture into 6 equal sized potions.
• Shape your donuts. First make a snake, then bend the edges towards each other and close it into a circle. Make sure the donuts are firm. You can also add the mixture into a square tin lined with parchment paper and press it firm. Let it cool and cut it into squares.
• Place the donuts back into the fridge for another 30min.
• Melt the chocolate and cover the bottom of the donuts. Once the chocolate has set, turn them over and drizzle more chocolate over the top of the donuts.
• Store them in the fridge and allow them to cool and set a bit more.
• Enjoy.
• For best results keep them refrigerated.
