Protein Packed Vanilla Donut Holes

SERVING SIZE: 1 donut hole

YIELDS: 9 servings

– 30g light butter (Country Crock brand is recommended)
– 14g sugar free fat free vanilla pudding mix
– 25g vanilla whey
– 1/4 tsp baking powder
– Stevia/Splenda to taste (I used about 1 tsp)
– 30g coconut flour
– 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
– 65g unsweetened applesauce
– 75g liquid egg whites

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.

Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros. Click here to get expert tips on baking with other types of protein powder in our free online guide.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Melt butter in a bowl, then add all other ingredients. Mix well.
3. Spray mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Pour batter into 9 of the mini muffin moulds and bake for about 5-10 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick every few minutes and remove from oven when toothpick comes out clean.
5. Remove from muffin pan and enjoy! Once cooled, cut off edges with a knife to shape into more of a “donut hole” shape. Feel free to add a protein glaze (protein powder + stevia + a little bit of water).
