Key: T=Tablespoon; tsp=teaspoon

Elements

• 4 servings (120 grams)  I Vanilla protein
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup oat flour*
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

*you should buy this, or make your personal mixing oats in a blender – be sure you remeasure after mixing to get the correct amount

Topping (elective):

• 1/4 cup melted ghee (or coconut oil or butter)
• 1/2 cup monk fruit* (or any granular sugar or sugar different you want)
• 1 tsp cinnamon

*I got here throughout this at our small city grocery retailer (however you will get it cheaply on-line as effectively) and since it was the granular high quality I needed for the “sugar” topping, so I made a decision to strive it. It was superior for this recipe! We use monk fruit in our natural protein powders, however I don’t use a lot erythritol. Since this has some within the mix, I wasn’t positive how it could be. I used to be pleasantly shocked!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prep your donut pan with a lightweight coat of cooking oil (whereas it is probably not wanted, I do that even with a silicone mildew as I wish to make sure that the donuts come out cleanly).
2. Combine the protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and oat flour collectively in a medium sized bowl till effectively mixed.
3. In a smaller bowl, mix eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, cider and vanilla extract and beat till effectively blended.
4. Add the moist combination to the dry combination and stir to mix.
5. Fill donut tins 2/3 full* and bake for 12-Quarter-hour, or till a toothpick inserted comes out clear.
6. Whereas the donuts are baking, soften butter. In a small bowl, mix cinnamon and sugar and put aside.
7. Take away donuts from oven and funky for five minutes earlier than eradicating them from their molds onto a cooling rack.
8. Whereas heat, brush on melted butter til effectively coated. Dredge in cinnamon sugar combination (roll the edges and tops).**
9. Serve and luxuriate in!

*I discovered it useful to place my donut batter into a big liquid measuring cup and use the pouring spout to get the batter cleanly into the donut molds. I used a spatula to information the batter.  I additionally lined a cookie sheet with foil and positioned my molds onto that for baking, because it was so much simpler to regulate the flat pan than it’s to deal with batter in silicone molds.

**The lined tray serves one other objective as effectively – as soon as I transferred the baked donuts to a cooling rack, I positioned the cooling rack on the foil lined sheet to coat with butter and sugar. This makes a little bit of a multitude, and when you’re carried out you may transfer the cookie sheet together with your accomplished donuts off to the facet, and throw the foil with all of the mess away, making clear up simple!
