Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 scoop chocolate whey protein isolate
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or erythritol
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: Glaze with powdered erythritol and almond milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 6-cavity donut pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oat flour, chocolate whey protein isolate, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, applesauce (or Greek yogurt), almond milk, maple syrup (or erythritol), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan cavities, filling them about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
  8. Prepare optional glaze if desired, and dip or drizzle it over the cooled donuts.

Notes

Do not overmix to prevent tough donuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
