Easy Protein Donuts
Ingredients
- 1 cup (3 scoops) casein protein powder (must use casein or else won’t work properly!)
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1-2 teaspoons sugar substitute of choice suitable for baking
- 2.5 tablespoons melted unrefined/virgin coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4-1 cup unsweetened almond, coconut, hemp or cashew milk (vanilla preferred)
- 2 egg whites or 1/3 cup liquid egg whites
Preheat oven 350.
Spray a donut pan with non stick spray.
Combine dry ingredients with whisk then add in wet and mix well. Add the milk last and start with 3/4 cup of milk because you may need slightly less than 1 cup of milk so add slowly. You want a thick batter! See pic below for reference. It should not be liquidy or thin. Evenly pat mixture down into donut pan.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Start checking them at 25 minutes to ensure they don’t get too dark (although as long as they don’t burn they will still taste great even if they get a little dark!!). These will rise a lot while baking and poof up over the center. They may seem too crispy but they will soften as they cool. Flip donuts onto wax paper or foil.
They should have formed a little well or hole which you can fill with a teaspoon of sugar free jam per donut. You can also make your own jam or fruit filling by mashing or food processing any kind of berries or fruit with a little no calorie sugar substitute of choice.
Makes a great snack or dessert! 🙂
