Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
  2. Combine yogurt, honey, vanilla, flour, ground almonds and cinnamon in a bowl. Add more ground almonds if the mixture is too wet. Roll into 6-8 balls, roughly the size of golf balls, and place on a lined baking tray. Brush the doughnuts with the oil.
  3. Bake for 14-15 mins until golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the berries in a saucepan over a medium heat for 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and soften. Mash the berries lightly with a fork or spoon.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chia seeds and honey. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 mins to thicken, stirring occasionally. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like. Allow the compote to cool before drizzling over the doughnuts to serve.

Tip: If you don't have honey, maple syrup also works in this recipe.
