Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams vanilla protein powder
- 120 grams almond flour
- 5 grams baking powder
- 3 grams cinnamon powder
- 2 grams salt
- 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 5 milliliters vanilla extract
- 45 grams honey
- 30 grams coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or small saucepan and let it cool slightly. Add the melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to ensure it does not solidify.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the donuts remain tender.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
Pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake the mini donuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into one of them comes out clean.
Remove the mini donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the high-protein mini donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack or with your favorite healthy glaze!
