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
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut tray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, protein powder, and sugar substitute.
- Add the coconut oil and almond milk, and mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into a Ziploc bag, cut off the tip, and pipe the batter evenly into the donut tray cavities.
- Bake for 10–11 minutes until the donuts are firm and lightly golden on top.
- 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.
- Once the donuts have cooled, spread or pipe the frosting on top.
- 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.
