Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Begin by mixing the dry ingredients in a bowl: oat flour, Healthy Heights protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and a dash of salt. Ensure they are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and dairy-free milk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
- Transfer the batter to a large piping bag and cut off the end to allow for easy piping.
- Pipe the batter into a donut mold, filling each cavity evenly.
- Bake the donuts for 15-17 minutes. Allow them to cool completely after baking.
- For the frosting, combine peanut butter and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and well-integrated. Note: Use natural creamy peanut butter for the best consistency.
- Stir in the Healthy Heights protein powder and maple syrup into the melted peanut butter mixture.
- Once the donuts are cooled, dip each one into the frosting and place them on a cooling rack. If desired, drizzle melted chocolate on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Refrigerate the donuts until the glaze hardens.
- Store the donuts in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. This recipe yields 7-8 delicious donuts.
