They sound fabulous don’t they!

Trust me, they are. And they’re good for you! – Carrots! Oats!! Mmmmm.

We made these with that wonderful doughnut machine that I won here on Farm Bell Recipes–Brownies–In My New Doughnut Maker

It made wonderful brownies! But I was hungry for carrot cake. And cream cheese frosting.

Mostly the frosting.

I’m sure you understand.

I’ll get right to the point.

How to make Carrot Cake Doughnuts: Printable

Plug in the doughnut maker.

Combine 1 1/2 cups grated carrot, 1 1/2 cups ground whole oats/oatmeal, and 1/4 cup water in a microwavable bowl. We microwaved them for 1 minute, then stirred, then 2 minutes, then stirred, then 1 more minute. Stir well. Make sure the carrots are cooked enough for you. They won’t cook long in the doughnut machine.

When the carrots are soft enough for you, add 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup oil, 2 eggs (beaten), 1/4 cup flour, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a dash of nutmeg.

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. You’ll be glad you did!

Bake doughnuts for 6 minutes.

Ready to come out!

Take them out and let them cool a bit. Glaze when warm. Or not. Whatever you want. I glazed them when they were very very warm so the glaze would melt all over and get gooey.

How to make Cream Cheese Glaze: Printable

Melt the 1/2 block of cream cheese in the microwave. Stir in 1 cup powdered sugar. If the glaze is too stiff, then add a couple of drops of milk and stir well.

    I don’t have the doughnut maker, but your recipe sounds great for waffles.

    Omitting the frosting you really could call these a veggie, right? Or, go ahead and use frosting and call ’em frosted veggies.

    Works for me!! And they look terrific.

    I’m going, right now, into the kitchen, to make these. Now. 🙂 I don’t have a donut maker either but I’ll tell you what, I have one of those donut oven pans and I bet it works out in one of those!
