  • Author: YOUSSEF litim
  • Total Time: 20–25 minutes
  • Yield: 6–8 donuts (depending on pan size)

Ingredients

1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

1/2 cup almond flour or oat flour

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 egg

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional Add-ins:

Mini chocolate chips

Blueberries

Cinnamon

Swirl of nut butter


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan.

  2. Mix wet ingredients: Combine Greek yogurt, almond milk, egg, vanilla, and sweetener.

  3. Stir in dry ingredients: Add protein powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.

  4. Optional: Fold in chocolate chips, fruit, or spices.

  5. Fill donut molds: Spoon or pipe the batter in, filling each cavity 3/4 full.

  6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

  8. Top as desired: Glaze, chocolate dip, or Greek yogurt frosting.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter—keep it just combined for fluffier donuts.

  • Adjust liquid depending on protein powder type (plant-based absorbs more).

  • Use silicone donut pans for easy release.

  • Add mix-ins like nuts or fruit for variety.

  • Store in the fridge for 5 days or freeze for up to a month.

 

  • Reheat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for fresh-out-of-the-oven texture.
