Ingredients Method

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!
For the cinnamon sugar coating:
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil melted

Method
 

  1. 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!
  2. Spread the batter into 6 donuts molds and bake for 15-17 min. Let cool.
  3. Melt the coconut oil and spread onto each donut before rolling into the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat it. Enjoy!
