Description
Delicious, fluffy and protein packed chocolate baked donuts topped with a decadent dark chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup flour (whole wheat, gluten free, etc)
- 2 scoops (62g) Macro1 Nutrition ONE Vegan Protein, chocolate flavor “MACROCHEF” to save 10%!
- 1/4 cup unsweetened
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 whole egg
- 1/2 cup plain (nonfat Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup Truvia baking blend**
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (for topping)
- sprinkles (optional (for topping))
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F. Add flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, add egg, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and Truvia sweetener. Mix well. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently stir together until a smooth batter forms.
- Spray a donut pan with non-stick spray. Pour batter into a piping bag or large ziplock bag. Cut off the end and pipe batter into 6 spots in the donut pan.
- Bake at 325F. for 6-7 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. It is better to under-bake them a little so that they do not dry out.
- Once cooked, let completely cool. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip each donut into the melted dark chocolate.
- Top with sprinkles if desired. They are also delicious with a bit of sea salt on top as well!
Notes
*Do NOT substitute a whey protein powder in this recipe. It cooks much differently than a vegan protein or whey / casein blend protein. Vegan works best in this recipe but a whey / casein blend will work as well, you just may need to slightly reduce the wet ingredients (greek yogurt and applesauce).
**Truvia baking blend is a stevia/sugar mixture. It has 1/2 the sugar of regular granulated sugar, but it is sweeter so you don’t have to use as much. It can be found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. If you can’t find it, you can use 1/2 cup regular granulated sugar.
