Indulge in Fall Flavors: Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts Recipe
Introduction:
Get into the fall spirit with these Pumpkin Spice Protein Donuts! Made with wholesome ingredients and packed with protein, they’re a guilt-free way to enjoy the flavors of the season.
Ingredients:
🍃 2 scoops Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix Pumpkin Spice
🍃 2 scoops Protein Baked Goods Mix
🍃 ¼ cup water
🍃 2 TBSP granulated sugar or 1:1 granulated sugar substitute* (such as a monk fruit-erythritol blend or stevia-erythritol blend )
🍃 1 egg
🍃 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
For Protein Frosting:
🍃 1 scoop Formula 1 Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix Pumpkin Spice
🍃 1 scoop Protein Drink Mix Vanilla
🍃 1 TBSP Herbal Aloe Concentrate Cranberry
🍃 2 ½ TBSP water
🍃 ¼ tsp. cinnamon
*1:1 sugar substitutes are sugar substitutes that utilize the same measurements as table sugar, i.e., 1 TBSP sugar substitute = 1 TBSP table sugar.
If using pure stevia sweetener, replace 2 TBSP sugar in recipe with ½ tsp. pure stevia powder and add 1 additional TBSP of Protein Baked Goods Mix and 1 additional TBSP of water.
Instructions:
♻️ Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a donut baking mold.
♻️ In a small bowl, whisk together Formula 1, Protein Baked Goods Mix and sugar.
♻️ In another bowl, whisk together egg, water and extract.
♻️ Pour liquid mixture over dry ingredients and whisk until well-mixed.
♻️ Carefully spoon donut batter into each well of the donut mold, filling each well about ¾ full.
♻️ Place in oven and bake for 13 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched with a finger.
♻️ While donuts are baking, prepare frosting: Stir together Formula 1, Protein Drink Mix, Herbal Aloe Concentrate and water in a small bowl until smooth and of frosting consistency. Mixture will thicken slightly as it stands. If mixture seems too thick, add water a few drops at a time.
♻️ When donuts are done, let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and place upside down on a cooling rack. When completely cool, frost with frosting.
Note: Donuts made with sweetener may not brown as much as donuts made with sugar.
Makes 6 mini donuts or 4 full-size donuts
Either a 6-well mini-mold (each well = ¼ cup/60 ml) or a 4-well, full-size mold (each well = 1/3 cup/80 ml).
