Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Whey protein powder
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 100 grams Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 60 milliliters Coconut oil (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a donut baking pan with non-stick spray or a little coconut oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In another medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed, then whisk in the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently mix until just combined to avoid over-mixing.
Gradually stir in the milk and melted coconut oil until the batter is smooth and thick but pourable.
Pour or pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the donuts are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center 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.
If desired, drizzle with additional honey or glaze of choice before serving.
Enjoy your high-protein honey donuts as a post-workout snack or a sweet breakfast treat!
