Instructions for Healthy Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Donuts:
1: Prepare the Donut Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, Pescience Peanut Butter Delight Protein Powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
2: Bake the Donuts
- Pour the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
3: Make the Peanut Butter Frosting
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Add almond milk as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency.
4: Frost and Add Toppings
- Once the donuts have cooled, spread a thin layer of peanut butter frosting on each donut.
- Add a small dollop of strawberry jelly on top of the frosting.
- Sprinkle each donut with chopped peanuts for an extra crunch.
Tips for Making the Perfect Protein Donuts
- Use High-Quality Protein Powder: Pescience Peanut Butter Delight Protein Powder is excellent for flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the donuts dense. Stir just until combined.
- Add a Little Sweetness: If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the batter.
