Ingredients
- 60 grams vanilla protein powder
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 15 grams cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams crushed cream-filled chocolate cookies
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 15 milliliters water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla protein powder, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the almond milk, Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in half of the crushed cream-filled chocolate cookies.
Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Dip the top of each cooled donut into the glaze and place back on the wire rack.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies over the top of the glazed donuts.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.
