My boyfriend has been asking me to make him some protein donuts for ages and with Christmas coming up I decided to finally make some and make them a festive!
Like I said I have never made donuts before so this was a bit of a gamble but they turned out perfectly so I just had to share the recipe with you all!
Ingredients for the donuts
- 100g coconut sugar
- 75g coconut oil
- 70g plain flour
- 70g protein (I used SFN salted caramel)
- 1Tbsp agave nectar
- 2tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 100ml milk I used soya
Topping ingredients
- 75g Cream cheese
- 75g Salted caramel protein
- 1tbsp Agave nectar
- Pretzels
- M&M’s
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160oc
- In a mixing bowl add the sugar and coconut oil and whisk until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the egg, milk, vanilla, then fold in the flour, baking powder and a pinch salt.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared silicone donut tray and bake for 10 minutes until risen and golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Whilst the donuts cool it’s time to make the icing! In a mixing bowl add the cream cheese, protein powder & agave syrup and mix until a paste forms (add more protein if it looks a bit runny).
- When the donuts have fully cooled ice the donuts and make the antlers out of pretzels and the nose and eyes out of M&Ms!
