Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.75 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a non-stick spray or melted coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just well combined, making sure not to overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and lemon zest into the batter, ensuring even distribution of blueberries.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off, and pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan.
Bake the donuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean and they are golden brown.
Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these donuts fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
