Description

These low-calorie protein donuts are a guilt-free treat packed with protein and flavor. Made with a blueberry muffin protein powder and a sugar substitute, they’re light, fluffy, and perfect for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert.


Ingredients

Scale

For the donuts:

  • 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 scoop Level-1 Blueberry Muffin protein powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar substitute
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup almond milk

For the frosting:

  • 0.5 scoop Blueberry Muffin protein powder
  • 1/4 cup confectioners sugar substitute
  • Almond milk, as needed to achieve frosting consistency

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut tray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, protein powder, and sugar substitute.
  3. Add the coconut oil and almond milk, and mix until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Pour the batter into a Ziploc bag, cut off the tip, and pipe the batter evenly into the donut tray cavities.
  5. Bake for 10–11 minutes until the donuts are firm and lightly golden on top.
  6. Prepare the frosting: In a small bowl, mix the protein powder and confectioners sugar substitute. Slowly add almond milk, stirring until the mixture reaches a frosting-like consistency.
  7. Once the donuts have cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top.
  8. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Ensure donuts are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
  • You can substitute any flavored protein powder for variety.
  • Use a sugar-free frosting alternative for an even lower-calorie option.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
