Ingredients
Blueberry Cake Donuts
- 3/4 C 84g Almond Flour
- 2 scoops 62g PEScience Protein Powder, vanilla
- 2 Tbsp Granulated Sugar Substitute I used Swerve granular
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt or 1/8 tsp table salt
- 1 C 227g Vanilla Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 3/4 C 120g Fresh Blueberries, if frozen, microwave for 45-60 seconds first
Glaze
- 1/4-1/2 C 36-72g Swerve Confectioners, or a powdered sugar substitute
- 1-2 Tbsp Water
Instructions
- Preheat and oven to 350F and place a silicone donut mold on a baking sheet or spray a 6-donut tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Add the yogurt and eggs to a large bowl and stir until evenly mixed. (For best result, whisk the eggs together in a separate bowl before adding so you don't overmix the batter.)
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Transfer the batter to the donut mold, filling each nearly all the way full.
- Bake for 20-24 minutes or until the donuts are cooked through.
Cooling and Adding the Glaze
- Remove the mold from the oven and allow the donuts to briefly cool before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- For the glaze, mix the confectioners sugar and water in a shallow bowl and dip the cooled donuts face down. If you'd like less glaze or a drizzle, use the lower end of the measurements and spoon it on top by hand.
Notes
- Each donut has 3 Smart Points.
- Nutrition info does not include carbs from the zero-calorie Swerve. If you track these carbs or use real sugar instead, each protein donut will have 12 grams of carbs.
- Macros do not include the glaze since you may want to tweak the amount used. If you follow a net carbs regimen, you can ignore the macros from the glaze as Swerve is a zero-calorie, non-glycemic sweetener. If you track everything, I'd log the carbs listed on the label.
