Ingredients

  • ½ cup oat flour
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup desi jaggery, or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon teaspoon baking powder
  • 3–4 tablespoons milk
  • salt A pinch
  • Butter as required

For the Topping – Optional

  • Dark chocolate as required
  • coconut oil A splash
  • Coconut flakes or colourful sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, add butter and desi khand (any natural essence can be added at this point to add flavor). Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Add the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix gently to combine.
  • Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, and knead until you get a soft, manageable dough. You may not need all the milk.
  • Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 1–2 hours.
  • Once chilled, take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a small circle.
  • Using a chopstick or your finger, make a small hole in the centre to give the cookies a donut shape.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Arrange the cookies on a lined baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

For the Chocolate Topping

  • Melt some dark chocolate in the microwave in short intervals of about 20–30 seconds, stirring between each interval.
  • Add a small splash of coconut oil and mix until smooth.
  • Dip or spread the melted chocolate over the cooled donut cookies.
  • Sprinkle with coconut flakes or colourful sprinkles to make them look like mini donuts.
  • Refrigerate the cookies until the chocolate sets.
  • Serve and enjoy these adorable homemade donut cookies with your little ones!
