These Baked Vegan Donuts are made with almond flour, protein powder, beetroot powder, sweetened with maple syrup and glazed with coconut yogurt. They’re delicious and not your average donut!
If you’ve been browsing any food blogs lately, it seems like everyone is getting on the healthy donut train, so I finally hopped on board! And I’m SO glad that I did. To be honest, I’ve never been a huge donut person (I’ll take a giant gooey cookie over a donut any day), however, these baked vegan donuts may have changed my mind.
I made one batch and thought to myself “WHERE HAVE THESE BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE?”. I was so pleasantly surprised!
This recipe is simple, requiring basic ingredients and 30 minutes to prepare! And they’re naturally sweetened and vegan!
Now, these are donuts that you can feel good about having for a post-workout snack (hello protein!) or a healthy dessert.
The glaze is optional, but in my opinion, totally seals the deal. Plus, you need a way to add all the fun toppings 😉 I used Power Up Goji Power Mix because I love the combination of pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, and cranberries. You could also use cacao nibs, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Be creative!
