BLUEBERRY GLAZED PROTEIN DONUTS

BLUEBERRY GLAZED PROTEIN DONUTS

These Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts combine a tender cake donut texture with juicy blueberries and sweet vanilla glaze. They're gluten-free, dairy-free, low fat and high in protein! If you don't have a donut pan, feel free to make these into muffins or scones. 

Did you know? Blueberries are high in antioxidants, helping neutralize free radicals that damage your DNA. (source)

Protein recommendations

These Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts call for LIV Body Lean Vegan Protein. I used Oatmeal Cream Cookie flavor! You can use my code SARAHWILKINS for free shipping on all Liv Body products. Any vegan protein powder should work in this recipe, but it will alter the taste and texture. I haven’t tested this recipe with whey, but in my experience, whey blends work way better than whey isolate.

If you don’t have protein powder, you can substitute half a cup of gluten-free baking flour (60 grams).

Flour recommendations

These donuts use a combination of gluten-free baking flour and coconut flour.  Feel free to swap the coconut flour for twice as much baking flour. Or, swap the gluten free baking flour for any of the following: all-purpose flour, cake flour, oat flour, or buckwheat flour.

Sweetener recommendations

To sweeten the donuts themselves, I used this sugar free granulated sweetener that measures like sugar. It has no erythritol or stevia for those who are sensitive! Feel free to substitute twice as much granulated monk fruit, granulated erythritol, or baking stevia. For the glaze, I used the same brand of powdered sweetener without stevia or erythritol. But again, you can use any powdered sweetener that measures like sugar!

Other ingredients

For an irresistible moist texture, I used plain dairy free yogurt and a little coconut oil. Feel free to sub plain Greek yogurt or even unsweetened applesauce instead of the dairy free yogurt, or vegan butter in place of the coconut oil! I used egg white to help bind the donuts, but feel free to use a vegan egg replacer. Using egg replacer can change the texture a little, but I've found it works best with all-purpose flour (gluten helps bind in the absence of egg whites).

Here’s the printable recipe for these Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts! I hope you’ll rate and comment below if you try them 🙂

Bored of the same old meal prep chicken? This Peachy Jalapeno Grilled Chicken has so much flavor between the sweet peaches and kick of jalapeño. It’s a longstanding favorite at our house. We love it for grilling, meal prep, or a delicious weeknight dinner! It’s not what most would consider “spicy,” but if you really can’t stand the heat, omit the jalapeño for a delicious peach glaze! This recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free (yay).

These scrumptious Apple Cider Protein Donuts are gluten free, vegan, and macro-friendly! They have a crispy exterior you’ll swear is deep-fried, and a scrumptious cinnamon “sugar” coating.
