Description

These protein powder donuts are soft, fluffy, and packed with nutrients—perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a post-workout snack. Made with simple ingredients like vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and Greek yogurt, they offer all the satisfaction of traditional donuts without the sugar crash.


Ingredients

Scale

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (30g)

½ cup almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 large egg

⅓ cup almond milk

¼ cup Greek yogurt (or unsweetened applesauce)

2 tbsp granulated sweetener (monk fruit or erythritol)

1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 6-cavity donut pan.

     

  • In a mixing bowl, combine protein powder, almond flour, and baking powder.

  • In another bowl, whisk egg, almond milk, yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla.

  • Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir until smooth.

  • Pipe the batter into the donut pan, filling each cavity ¾ full.

  • Bake for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  • Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

 

  • Optional: Drizzle with sugar-free glaze or top with chopped nuts.

Notes

These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds. You can also freeze them and glaze after thawing.
