Some recommended items from our kitchen to make this dish…
- A donut machine is our preferred way to make these however you can bake them in the oven with a silicone mould if you prefer.
- Silicone whisks in varying sizes, much prefer silicone to metal as it rusts.
- Double sided dry and liquid measuring spoons for times when you need to measure both liquid and dry ingredients.
- Mixing bowls are always wanted in this household and these stackable ones save so much space in our cupboards.

** DISCLAIMER: BAKING POWDER IS SYNNED AT 0.5 SYN PER TEASPOON, I PERSONALLY DO NOT SYN THE AMOUNT I USE IN THIS RECIPE BUT TO PROTECT YOUR OWN WEIGHT LOSS DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.
Cherry Bakewell Dinky Donuts
- 45g oatbran – HexB or 7.5 syns
- ½ tablespoon sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder**
- 1 egg
- 25ml whole milk – Part HexA or 1.5 syns
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
For the topping:
- 2 teaspoons no added sugar cherry jam – 1 syn
- 3g ground almonds – 1 syn
- Preheat your donut machine (or follow any instructions your machine provides).
- Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and give a quick mix.
- In another bowl whisk the egg and almond until pale and fluffy, add the milk and give a quick mix.
- Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Leave to soak for a few minutes.
- Once the donut machine is heated add a few spoonfuls into each cavity and cook for 4-5 minutes (you may need to experiment here or follow instructions from your machine as they will all vary).
- Keep cooking your batter in batches being sure not to over fill to prevent leaking out the sides and wasted mixture.
- Slightly warm the jam with a little water so its runnier, goes further and easier to dip.
- As you take the donuts out the machine quickly dip them into the ground almonds so it sticks while they are still hot.
- Dip into the jam and serve alongside some speed fruits or enjoy as a pudding or even along side a cuppa.
Alternatively you can use a silicone donut mould and bake in the oven at 180 fan for around 20-25 minutes, you may need to keep an eye as this is just an estimate time as I have only ever done them in a machine.
