Store-bought donuts lose their nutritional points when it comes to their macronutrient profile.
The addition of oil in frying adds to the calorie count of the food
High in sugar, carbohydrates and processed oils can cause crazy blood sugar spikes in kids.
Whether baked or fried, donuts are very delicious snacks that can be made in the comfort of your home. Only this time, baking is involved.
A typical fried glazed donut will be around 269 calories, while a baked donut will have much fewer.
The difference with baking is that you won't be dealing with any extra fat from the oil from frying when you bake.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, vanilla
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1/3 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, semisweet (option)
- 1 tablespoon oil, avocado
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using a medium bowl add egg, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla.
Step 2
Whisk to fully combine cake flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
Combine all the wet ingredients and mix with the dry ingredients until combined.
Stir together until fully combined.
Step 4
Scoop out by 2-3 tablespoons full, into the donut mold. This should fill each mold 2/3 full.
Step 5
Evenly oil the donut baking pan, using a pastry brush, then place the donut molds. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 6
Mix chocolate chips with avocado oil in a microwave-safe dish. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Once it is smooth, dip the top of each donut into the glaze and allow the excess to drip off.
Step 7
Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to harden the glaze.
