- 25g of coconut sugar

Method
1
To make the doughnuts, split the vanilla pod and scrape the seeds into a small saucepan. Add half the milk and the coconut fat and heat over medium heat until the fat melts. Set aside to infuse while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
2
Blend the oats to powder in a high powdered food processor or coffee grinder. Set aside
3
Add the other half of the milk to the saucepan and heat to just lukewarm – any hotter and it will kill the yeast. Remove from the heat and add the yeast, stirring to melt. Add to a stand mixer, Thermomix or other blender with kneading capability. Add the oat flour.
4
Sieve about 130g spelt flour to remove the biggest pieces of bran (you can add these back to the packet) and weigh out 100g sieved spelt flour. Add this to the mixer with the plain flour, skimmed milk powder, flaky sea salt, baking powder and egg. Squeeze all the milk out of the vanilla pod and add this flavoured milk to the mixer
5
Knead for a minute, then add 25g coconut sugar and continue to knead for about 6 minutes (it will depend on your machine), until the dough is shiny and supple – it will be quite sticky
6
Scrape the dough into a greased bowl and leave in a warm place to rise, 1–2 hours depending on the room temperature
7
When the dough has doubled in size, punch down
8
Roll out about 2cm thick. Use a biscuit cutter (about 6cm wide) to cut circles out of the dough – try not to twist the cutter when you press down as this can interfere with the rise
9
Arrange the doughnuts on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and cover with a clean tea towel. Allow to rise again until roughly doubled in size, about 45–60 minutes
10
While the doughnuts are rising, prepare the fillings. To make the raspberry sauce, heat the frozen raspberries in a medium saucepan with the coconut sugar and a small dash of lemon juice until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl to cool
11
Blend the sweet sesame tofu in a food processor and add to another serving bowl
12
Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5
13
Once the doughnuts have risen, bake the for about 8 minutes until risen and just set. Over-baking will result in dry, tough doughnuts so keep an eye on them as they bake and err on the side of under-baking
14
While the doughnuts are baking, melt the chocolate – I find this easiest in a microwave, checking frequently to ensure the chocolate doesn’t burn
15
When they are ready, split each doughnut in half and pile the tofu sesame cream and raspberry sauce on top of the bottom halves. Working quickly, dip the top halves in the melted chocolate and reattach
16
Serve immediately, while still warm, with any leftover fillings on the side
