High Protein Donuts

Who says you need to stay away from donuts when you are on a healthy diet spree? We certainly don’t!

Here’s a simple donut recipe for you to enjoy.



Ingredients:

• ¾ cup whole wheat + almond flour
• ½ cup RAW protein powder (or another plant-based protein powder)
• ½ cup jaggery
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium banana)
• flaxseed meal mixture 
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-4 tablespoons water (depending on batter consistency)
  
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and grease a donut pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs (or egg substitute), coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, RAW protein powder, sweetener, baking powder, and salt).
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
5. If the batter is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
6. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
7. Pipe the batter into the greased donut pan, filling each cavity about ¾ full.
8. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
9. Let the donuts cool completely in the pan before decorating (optional).
