Ingredients
3/4 cup vanilla protein powder
2/3 cup oat flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
4 teaspoons apple pie spice
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup coconut sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup apple cider
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Nonstick cooking spray, for the doughnut pans
Maple Syrup Glaze, recipe follows, optional
Coconut Glaze, recipe follows, optional
Coconut Sugar, recipe follows, optional
Maple Syrup Glaze:
1/3 cup maple syrup
6 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
Coconut Glaze:
6 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Coconut Sugar:
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup coconut sugar
Directions
Special equipment:
two 6-count nonstick doughnut pans- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, coconut flour, apple pie spice and baking powder in a large bowl. Add the coconut sugar and stir to combine.
- Whisk together the applesauce, apple cider and eggs in a medium bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until combined. Whisk in the coconut oil.
- Spray two 6-count nonstick doughnut pans with nonstick spray. Use a spoon to divide the batter among the 12 doughnut molds. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the doughnuts are light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the doughnuts to a cooling rack to cool, about 15 minutes.
- Serve plain or top with Maple Syrup Glaze, Coconut Glaze or Coconut sugar, if desired.
Maple Syrup Glaze:
- Mix together the maple syrup and protein powder in a shallow bowl. Dip one side of the doughnut in the glaze or use a spoon to drizzle the mixture on top of the doughnuts.
Coconut Glaze:
- Mix together the protein powder, maple syrup and coconut milk in a wide shallow bowl. Dip one side of each doughnut in the glaze. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top.
Coconut Sugar:
- Put the coconut oil in a wide shallow bowl and the coconut sugar on a small plate. Dip one side of each doughnut in the coconut oil, then dip the same side in the coconut sugar.
Cook’s Note
The glazes will thicken as they sit. Add water as needed to loosen.
