Ingredients
Scale
Donuts
- 1 cup blanched almond flour (95g) spooned & leveled
- 1/3 cup protein powder (27g)* spooned & leveled
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch (30g)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used coconut yogurt)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease 7 slots of a donut pan. (I used avocado oil.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry donut ingredients. This includes the almond flour, protein powder, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Mix in the wet ingredients (eggs, yogurt and vanilla) and whisk the batter until it has a smooth, even consistency.
- Pour the batter into your greased donut pan, filling each slot just below the rim.
- Place the donuts in your oven and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
- After baking, let the donuts cool in the mold for 10 minutes before removing. Then transfer them to a wire cooling rack. Cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, slightly larger than the donuts, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping.
- Brush the tops of the donuts with avocado oil, then dip them in the cinnamon sugar topping.
Notes
*I used hemp protein powder for these donuts, but have also made them with pumpkin seed protein powder. Both work great!
