Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 15

Prep Time: 20 minutes   Cook Time: 6 minutes  

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups grated carrot
1 1/2 cups ground whole oats/oatmeal
1/4 cup water

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
dash nutmeg

Cream Cheese Glaze

Directions

Plug in the doughnut maker.

Combine carrot, oats, and water in a microwavable bowl. Microwave for about 4 minutes, stirring after each minute, or until the carrots are cooked enough for you, they won’t cook long in the doughnut machine. Stir well.

When the carrots are soft enough for you, add the rest of the doughnut ingredients. Stir well.

Pipe into the doughnut maker. Don’t try to spoon it in – too messy! Use a zip-lock bag with a corner cut off if you don’t have a fancier piping tool.

Bake doughnuts for 6 minutes. Take them out and let them cool a bit. Glaze with cream cheese glaze when warm.
