Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.333 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with coconut oil or non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for easy filling, 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 the donuts comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the donuts can be enjoyed immediately or topped with your favorite glaze, nuts, or dusted with cinnamon sugar.
