Looking for healthy alternatives to industrial pastries is easier than we think. Today we teach you how to make sweet potato donut, taking advantage of the fact that it is usually a typical food of autumn and winter. Remember that we should not only worry about eating healthy, but we should also prioritize the sustainability of food. The ideal is to eat fruits and vegetables in season, and be consistent with consumption.
Eat sweet potatoes differently
Sweet potatoes are very little used food, although many recipes can be made. A while ago we taught you how to make brownies, fill sweet potato or caramelize it; but thinking of a sweeter recipe, we have decided to make donuts. Do not be afraid to think that they will have a strange flavor, because it happens the same as with pumpkin: they do not provide a very remarkable flavor.
In addition, we will play with the flavors of the coverage. You can bathe them with homemade nutella or with healthy nut creams.
Little changes you can make
As for tastes of flour, you can use the corn version or all of oatmeal. It is interesting that they are always with the whole grain (whole), but you can adapt to your needs.
If you are looking to reduce your carbohydrate intake a little, we can use pumpkin instead of sweet potato. Although, to be honest, the flavor of the donuts will also vary.
Finally, if you want to use another type of oil other than extra virgin olive oil, you have the option of coconut.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 50 ml milk
- 200 gr of sweet potato
- 50 gr oatmeal
- 30 gr rice flour
- 5 ml olive oil
- 3 gr of yeast
- Cinnamon and stevia to taste
Preparation
In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast and cinnamon. We reserve.
In another bowl, put the eggs, the olive oil, the milk, the roasted sweet potato and the stevia. We beat very well until we get a homogeneous mass.
When it is ready, add the previous mixture and move until it is integrated.
Let the donut dough rest for 2-3 minutes. And we begin to preheat the oven.
We put the dough in a donut pan and put them in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 180 degrees.
It is important that you check how your donuts are doing so they do not burn.
Unmold (taking care not to burn) and add some homemade chocolate or nut cream coating.
