Raw Blueberry Protein Doughnuts

I can’t tell how much I love raw things! One of my most favourite raw vegan things are definitely doughnuts! They are easier to make since they don’t have to be baked and they can’t be burnt (because I have burnt a few doughnuts before!).

When blueberries are in season, like right now in Australia, I always buy them a try to incorporate them in my vegan desserts or breakfast. Sometimes I just eat them as my snack because in the case you don’t know, blueberries are full of antioxidants and vitamin C! They make your skin and hair glow!

When blueberries are not in season, buy them in winter and freeze them! Frozen blueberries can be used in many ways, for example for a great delicious morning smoothie!

These doughnuts are not only a delicious snack or dessert but they are amazing after workout or exercise. They are packed with protein thanks to pea protein powder. I used organic plant-based protein from Orgain which is sooo delicious! I really recommend you to try it too!

For this recipe, you need raw and unsalted cashews. To make blueberry glaze, you will have to soak them preferably overnight or boil them for at least 20 minutes. This way they will be easier to blend.

To decorate your doughnuts, use what you have at home and goes together with blueberries! I used dairy-free chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, shredded coconut, and sugar stars.

If you follow my blog for some time you probably noticed that I love doughnuts and also sweet raw things! You can find heaps of other vegan sweet treats on this blog. Here are a few of them:
