Minimal ingredients, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, AND low calorie... Vanilla Sprinkle Protein Donuts: the recipe that is waiting for you to bake this week! With only 135 calories and 10 grams of protein per donut, these guys make for a healthy dessert or fun snack! Highlighting AstroFlav's Vanilla IsoMix for a game-changing donut recipe, we are sure you are going to love this recipe!
Protein powder – Vanilla protein powder was used for this recipe for a sweet, versaitle flavor. Chocolate, Cinna Crunch, or Chocolate Peanut Butter IsoMix protein powder would also make for fun and tasty flavored donuts!
Almond flour– Makes for a grain-free recipe, leaving donuts light and fluffy. If you're nut-free, opt for self-rising flour or oat flour.
Coconut sugar – To make the donuts light and sweet. You can also swap for monk fruit, Splenda brown sugar, or even white sugar.
Egg – To add texture and fluffy texture. If vegan, swap for a flax egg by mixing 1 Tbs of flax with 2 Tbs of water and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Butter – Only 1 Tbs of melted butter! You can also use coconut oil or any neutral-flavored oil.
Sprinkles – Can't go wrong with too many sprinkles!
Vanilla protein powder – Not only adds the Vanilla taste, but also extra protein.
Stevia or any confectioner sugar substitute – There are plenty of confectioner sugar substitue! For this recipe, I used Stevia zero-calorie sugar!
Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk to thin the glaze out.
Be careful not to over-bake donuts. Keep checking for a golden brown top and use a toothpick until it comes out clear, indicating that the donuts are done.
To avoid making a mess, you can out batter into a Ziplock bag and cut the corner off. Divide evenly among the donut molds. You can also use a pastry bag if accessible.
This recipe can be used for a muffin recipe as well if you do not have a donut pan!
Store donuts in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
Freeze donuts in a Ziplock bag and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
