Vegan Protein Donuts Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 2 scoops Sunwarrior Active Protein, cake batter flavor
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Sunwarrior Sea Salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- ½ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Sunwarrior Beetroot powder (for color, if you want them pink)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a donut pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk, apple sauce, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The exact time may vary, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or sugar if necessary.
- Once the donuts are completely cooled, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the wire rack to set.
- Enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
