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
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.
