Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In another bowl, combine the coconut sugar, pumpkin purée, almond milk, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Grease your donut mold or pan.
- Pour the batter into the mold, filling each cavity three-quarters full.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
- Once baked, allow the Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
For added protein, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds to the batter.
If you’re not a fan of coconut sugar, feel free to swap it with maple syrup or honey. Adjust the amount to your sweetness preference.
Ensure that you do not over-mix the batter; this could make your donuts dense. These Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts are perfect with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a smear of almond butter.
Consider dusting them lightly with cinnamon or cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor.
They pair wonderfully with a warm mug of unsweetened almond milk or your morning coffee.
