Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 g Whey protein powder
- 120 g Almond flour
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 120 g Greek yogurt
- 2 Eggs
- 120 ml Almond milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 30 ml Coconut oil, melted
- 30 ml Honey
- 40 g Coconut sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with a bit of cooking spray or a brush of coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, almond flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and honey until smooth and fully incorporated.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can affect the texture of the donuts.
Spoon the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the donuts just begin to turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the donuts are baking, prepare the cinnamon sugar coating. Mix the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon with the coconut sugar in a small bowl.
Once baked, let the donuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
While the donuts are still warm, dip each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat the surface evenly.
Allow the donuts to cool completely on the wire rack before serving or storing in an airtight container.
