Mini Chocolate Protein Donuts with Raspberry Glaze

Mini Chocolate Protein Donuts with Raspberry Glaze

Cook Time 8 minutes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (24g) almond meal
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (we used Vega Protein Powder)
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) baking powder
  • 1/8 cup (11g) unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/8 cup (39g) maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp. (14g) coconut oil
  • 1/8 cup egg whites
  • 1/8 cup (30g) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/8 cup (31g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/8 cup (21g) dark chocolate chips (mini) – optional

Raspberry Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (31g) raspberries (frozen or fresh)
  • 3/4 cups (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5g) almond extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 12-Cup Mini Muffin Pan with coconut oil spray or PAM.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients (almond meal, protein powder, baking powder and soda, cocoa powder).
  • Add in your wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir until all combined.
  • Add in your mini chocolate chips and stir gently until just combined.
  • Pour your mixture into the mini donut cavities half way full. We did this by putting the mixture into a piping/ziploc bag and cut the end and then piped into each cavity that way. It made it a lot easier.
  • Bake for 6-8 minutes (ours cooked closer to 6 minutes, so simply test with a toothpick at 6 minutes and cook longer if batter is still wet). You don’t want to over bake these because then they will be too dry.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  • To create the glaze, start by taking your raspberries and puree in a food processor. Then use a mesh strainer to pour the puree in to remove the seeds. Combine your powdered sugar/coconut sugar (finely ground) with your raspberry puree. Beat until mixed and fluffy. Add in your vanilla/almond extracts and mix until just incorporated. If you need to make your glaze less thick add in some almond milk a little at a time until you get the consistency you want.
  • Top mini donuts with your glaze (you may need to dip a second time) and let cool/harden. Enjoy!
