    Paleo Chai Protein Donuts

    October 11, 2022 by Sami Smith Leave a Comment

    These chai protein donuts are the perfect donuts to pair with a cozy cup of chai (or coffee, if you're a coffee lover like me)! These donuts have all the yummy chai spices while also being paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and so so delicious. I used a vanilla chai protein powder in these, but a vanilla protein powder works just as well!

    Ingredients
      

    For the donuts:

    • ½ cup almond flour
    • ½ cup vanilla protein powder I used a vanilla chai protein powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ cup nondairy milk +more depending on your protein powder
    • ¼ cup coconut sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon cardamom
    • ¼ teaspoon ginger
    • ⅛ teaspoon star anise optional!

    • ¼ cup coconut sugar

    • 2 tablespoon coconut oil melted

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a donut pan. Mix all of the donut ingredients until well combined. Add more milk if your dough is too dry and crumbly. Different protein powders have different absorbency levels!
    • Spread the batter into 6 donuts molds and bake for 15-17 min. Let cool.
    • Melt the coconut oil and spread onto each donut before rolling into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it. Enjoy!
