Servings: persons

9 Tablespoons Non-GMO Cornstarch
1/4 cups Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
6 Tablespoons Coconut Sugar
2 Tablespoons Oat Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/8 teaspoons Salt
1 Large Egg
1 Egg Yolk
1/2 cups Plain, Non-fat Greek Yogurt
2 Tablespoons Ghee
3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce
FOR DUSTING:
1/2 cups Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
Cinnamon, To Taste

1
In a medium bowl, stir cornstarch, protein powder, coconut sugar, oat flour, baking powder and salt.
2
Make a well in the center and crack in the egg, egg yolk, yogurt, ghee and applesauce. Whisk egg with a fork, and then mix everything together until you have a really sticky dough. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours.
3
One chilled, heat oven to 325u00b0F and generously rub a donut pan with melted ghee.
4
Fill a piping bag with the chilled donut mixture and pipe into the donut pan, filling just under 2/3 of the way full. You will need to do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 pan. Keep the remaining dough chilled in the fridge.
5
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 14 minutes. Let stand in the pan 5 minutes.
6
In a shallow plate, mix protein powder and cinnamon, adjusting the amount of cinnamon to taste.
7
After 5 minutes, gently remove the donuts from the pan and immediately place them into the protein powder mixture, tossing them gently until totally coated. Devour.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
