Ingredients
Mocha Cake Donuts
- 2 scoops 64g Protein Powder, vanilla
- 1/4 C 28g Coconut Flour
- 2 Tbsp Swerve Confectioners or 0-Calorie Sweetener
- 2 Tbsp 10g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg
- 2 Tbsp 30g Unsweetened Apple Sauce
- 4 Tbsp 60g Brewed Coffee, chilled
Mocha Icing
- 3 Tbsp 45g Brewed Coffee, chilled
- 1 scoop 32g Protein Powder, vanilla
- 1 Tbsp Swerve Confectioners or 0-Calorie Sweetener
- 1 Tbsp 5g Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Caramel Drizzle
- 1-2 Tbsp Walden Farms Caramel Syrup as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix all dry donut ingredients in a bowl before adding the egg, apple sauce, and chilled coffee. Mix until smooth like cake batter.
- Spoon donut mixture into donut pan, spreading evenly and wiping excess away from the edges.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the donuts are in the oven, mix together icing ingredients and set aside.
- After removing the donuts from the oven and cooling briefly (2-3 minutes), remove them and either dip them in the icing mixture face down or set them on a plate and spoon icing on top.
- Finish by drizzling as much caramel syrup as you'd like and adding a few chocolate sprinkles if that's your thing. Enjoy!
Notes
- Each donut has 2 Smart Points.
- Be careful to not overcook. These donuts have a tendency to dry out quickly.
- If you'd like a fluffier donut, add another egg and omit the apple sauce.
- And since these donuts are very low calories already, you could also reduce the protein powder to 1.5 scoops (45g) and add 1 Tbsp (7g) coconut flour to further improve tenderness.
