Prep

Total
: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 100 g Medjool dates stones removed
- 100 g wholemeal self-raising flour
- 100 g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting
- 30 g ground almonds
- 1 large free-range egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus a little for the pan
- 320 g blueberries
- 1 tablespoon runny honey
- 4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
- to taste ground cinnamon optional
- 1 small pinch sea salt
- 70 ml water
Instructions
Tear the stones out of the dates and place the flesh in a food processor with the flours, ground almonds, egg, sea salt and water.
Blitz until combined and forming a ball of dough, then roughly knead on a clean flour-dusted surface for 2 minutes.
Roll the dough 1.5cm thick, cut 8cm rounds, cut 3cm centres, and reroll the centre pieces and scraps until you have four doughnuts.
Simmer the doughnuts in a large pan of gently boiling water for 5 minutes, carefully turning halfway.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat with the olive oil. Drain the doughnuts well, transfer them to the pan, and cook for 10 minutes, turning regularly until golden.
Add the blueberries and drizzle over the honey. Shake the pan for a couple of minutes, turning the doughnuts through the jammy blueberry juices.
When glossy and purple-streaked, ripple the yoghurt through the pan and divide between plates. Finish with cinnamon if using.
