To Make Donuts

Combine the dates, water, almond butter, vanilla and sea salt and process until smooth. Place the shredded coconut in a high speed blender and buzz to fine flour consistency (about 20-30 seconds but not too long or you will get butter).
Add to the mixture in the food processor, along with the oat flour and process until smooth and holding together. Shape into 10 balls, and then shape into doughnuts and place on a dehydrator sheet.
Dry for about 5-6 hours at 115F or until not sticky.

To Make Glaze

Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Let sit a little while to thicken.
Place the doughnuts on a drying rack. Drizzle the glaze over the doughnuts, then them on a foil lined sheet pan.
Place in the freezer to harden for a few minutes. Remove from freezer, and serve!
