Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Vanilla protein powder
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 5 g Salt
- 180 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 50 g Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 100 g Light cream cheese
- 60 g Greek yogurt
- 30 ml Honey
- 1000 ml Vegetable oil for frying
- 30 g Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, vanilla protein powder, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool slightly.
Add the warm milk mixture, the egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut out rounds using a 3-inch round cutter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the doughnuts, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Drain the doughnuts on paper towels and let them cool completely.
For the filling, beat together the light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and honey until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag with a round nozzle.
Poke a hole into each cooled doughnut with a skewer or the nozzle of the piping bag. Pipe the filling into the center.
Sift powdered sugar over the filled doughnuts before serving.
