One of the most difficult parts of any fitness journey is changing your mindset around food. Cutting certain foods out and incorporating new ones into your diet can be challenging for many people, and that's okay! Here at AstroFlav, we want to help you along your fitness journey by providing you with delicious (and healthy) recipes that will keep you dedicated to your fitness journey while allowing you to enjoy what you eat.
It's time to bring the nostalgia of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal bowl back into your morning! This week's Healthier You recipe calls for Cinna Crunch Protein Donuts which we can all agree might just be a new breakfast staple. These donuts are low in calorie and are super easy to whip up for a healthy, on-the-go breakfast or snack! With almost 7 grams of protein per serving, this recipe highlights one of our best-selling protein powders, Cinna Crunch, for a sweet protein-packed treat!
We hope you love this recipe just as much as we do!
1/2 cup oat flour (50g)
1 scoop AstroFlav Cinna Crunch protein powder
1/2 cup calorie-free sweetener
1/4 cup coconut flour (10g)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (50g)
1 container non-fat Greek yogurt (150g)
Protein Frosting:
1 container non-fat Greek yogurt (150g)
1/2 scoop Cinna Crunch protein powder
3 TBS calorie-free sweetener
3 TBS unsweetened almond milk
Preheat oven to 350° and lightly grease donut pan to prepare.
In a medium sized bowl, add dry ingredients: oat flour, protein powder, coconut flour, calorie-free sweetener, baking powder & cinnamon. Stir or whisk ingredients together.
Add wet ingredients to mixture: egg, applesauce, and Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined, getting a batter-like consistency.
Add the batter into a piping bag (or zip lock bag with the corner cut).
Divide batter evenly amongst 8 donut molds.
Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the donuts are baking, mix up protein frosting in a small dish.
Remove donuts from oven and let cool. Dip top of the donuts into the protein frosting and sprinkle with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal & enjoy!

Recipe notes:
If the batter seems too thick, simply add a few tablespoons of almond milk to thin it out some.
If you do not have coconut flour, try the double amount of almond flour.
If you are vegan, swap the egg with a flax egg and use our VeganMix plant based protein!
Place cheesecake bites into a freezer safe bag or container and freeze up to 3 months.
Not at all! Cheesecake bites can be made without crusts or substituted with almond flour/oat flour!
Yes! They are high in protein, low in fat, and the added Greek yogurt lighten them up (so you can have more than one at a time;)!
