🧁 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
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your donut pan lightly.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, oil, monk fruit sweetener, vanilla extract, and the flax egg.
- In another bowl, combine oat flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 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.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the donut molds, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes only, or until the tops turn light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool for 5 minutes, then remove carefully from the pan.
