Apple Donuts - Syn Free

These apple donuts are syn free if you use the oats as your HEB.  Yes, they contain a cooked apple and Slimming World advise you syn cooked fruit.  I never have and it hasn’t ever had a negative effect on my weight loss but if you’re like to syn the apple please feel free.

This mixture makes the 8 donuts in the mould and two large muffins as well!

Ingredients:

40g oats (HEB)

1 grated apple (I used a granny smith as I like them)

1 Muller light (I used the apple & elderflower flavor)

2 tablespoons syn free sweetener

2 eggs

1 teaspoon mixed spice

Orange essence – you may wish to use vanilla but I liked the apple/orange mix it was nice.  You only need a few drops though whatever you choose to flavor with

Butter fry lite

Method:

Pre heat the oven to 180 or gas mark 6

Blitz your oats in a food processor, you need to do this with the donuts and not with the muffins as you’re aiming for a ‘batter’ like consistency

Put the blitzed oats in a large bowl

Mix all your apple donut ingredients thoroughly

Add the grated apple and other ingredients and mix thoroughly

Lightly spray your silicone donut mould with butter fry lite to make sure they pop out easily

Carefully spoon the apple donut mixture onto the mould

Using a smallish spoon, put the mixture in the donut holes making sure you leave the ring shape

If you have an extra mixture (as I did) make a couple of extra muffins.  I added sultanas to the muffins and they wee really good!

Bake at 180 for @30 minutes or until golden

Leave to cool or a good 10 minutes before turning them out of the mould or the donuts will stick

When you’re ready to serve dust lightly with syn free sweetener and decorate with fruit or yiu could serve with quark mixed with an options shot for extra decadence!
