Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- for greasing Vegetable oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Carefully spoon or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these protein-packed treats as a satisfying and healthy snack!
