Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Sugar-free caramel syrup
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with non-stick spray or olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the eggs, mixing until smooth.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined and smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Place the donut pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the caramel glaze by mixing the sugar-free caramel syrup and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth.
Once the donuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Dip each slightly cooled donut into the caramel glaze or spread it on top using a spatula. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your high protein caramel donuts as a dessert or a high-energy snack!
