A healthy and delicious donut recipe for the holidays!
Prep Time
30 min
Cook Time
20 min
Total Time
50 min
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 scoops Chocolate AboutTime protein powder
- 1/4 cup flaxseed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tsp cloves
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- Himalayan sea salt to taste
- 1 cup applesauce- Use the carrot applesauce from Trader Joes
- 3 egg whites
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/3 cup molasses
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- *Powdered sugar to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease donut pan with coconut oil
- Pour wet ingredients into mixing bowl and whip until frothy: egg whites, maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla extract.
- Next, add the dry ingredients slowly while still stirring: whole wheat flour, protein powder, flaxseed, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Mix until well combined, then pour the mixture into the donut pan. I found scooping the mixture out with a 1/4 cup and pouring it into each donut holder with a spatula works best with this sticky dough.
- Fill each donut 2/3 of the way.
- Place in oven and cook for 15-20 or until edges are slightly brown.
- Dust each with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy with your cup of coffee!
