Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup flour (I use King Arthur Gluten-Free)
- ¾ cup chocolate protein powder (I use Orgain Chocolate)
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar (or alternative sweetener)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray your silicone donut pan with cooking spray and dust lightly with flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (flour, protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda).
- Add the wet ingredients: Stir in the almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the batter into a Ziploc bag, cut off one corner, and pipe the batter into the silicone donut pan, filling each donut cavity about halfway.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick or fork comes out clean. Keep an eye on the donuts and add time as needed based on your ingredients.
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar.
- Once the donuts are cooled, dip each one in the glaze, or drizzle it on top for a lighter finish.
