Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oat flour
- 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sweetener of choice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure light and fluffy doughnuts.
Melt the coconut oil and add it to the batter, mixing until fully incorporated.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls with your hands.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Optional: For a sweeter taste, roll each ball in granulated sweetener of choice before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are slightly golden and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your high-protein Tim Bits warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
