Ingredients

• 60 grams vanilla protein powder
• 120 grams almond flour
• 5 grams baking powder
• 3 grams cinnamon powder
• 2 grams salt
• 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 60 grams unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large eggs
• 5 milliliters vanilla extract
• 45 grams honey
• 30 grams coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and lightly grease a mini donut pan with a bit of coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and honey. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.

Step 4

Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or small saucepan and let it cool slightly. Add the melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to ensure it does not solidify.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the donuts remain tender.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off.

Step 7

Pipe the batter into the prepared mini donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Bake the mini donuts in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into one of them comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the mini donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the high-protein mini donuts warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a snack or with your favorite healthy glaze!
