Description

Enjoy these baked protein donuts, a healthier twist on a classic treat. They are soft, lightly sweet, and topped with a glaze, offering a good protein boost for a post-workout snack or an energizing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons non-dairy milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg, non-dairy milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Spoon the batter into the donut cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Mix the glaze ingredients and dip the cooled donuts in the glaze. Place back on the rack to set.

Notes

  • Ensure your oat flour is finely ground for a smooth texture.
  • Best eaten fresh, but can be stored for a few days.
  • For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based protein powder.
  • Almond flour can be used instead of oat flour, but will result in a denser donut.
