🧁 Ingredients You’ll Need

You only need a few simple ingredients to make these healthy baked donuts at home.

Dry Ingredients

• 90g oat flour (or blended rolled oats)
• 30g protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or unflavoured — optional if you prefer without whey)
• 4g (1 tsp) baking powder
• 1g (¼ tsp) baking soda
• Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

• 60g unsweetened Greek yogurt (or hung curd)
• 65ml milk
• 13g (1 tbsp) melted coconut oil or olive oil
• 15–20g (2–2½ tbsp) monk fruit sweetener (or your preferred natural sweetener)
• 2g (½ tsp) vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp warm water (flax egg substitute)

🔪 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your donut pan lightly.
2. In a small bowl, make your flax egg by mixing 1 tbsp flaxseed meal with 3 tbsp warm water. Let it rest for 10 minutes until thickened.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, oil, monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and the flax egg.
4. In another bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until smooth. If the batter feels too thick, add 1–2 tsp of milk.
6. Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut molds, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Bake for 8–10 minutes only, or until the tops turn light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let them cool for 5 minutes, then remove carefully from the pan.
