By: Spencer Fiumara

Tonight we will be baking macro friendly maple glazed protein doughnuts!
Ingredients needed to make the doughnut:
40g x Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla)

80g x Gluten Free Ground Oats 100g x Unsweetened Apple Sauce 50ml x Liquid Egg Whites 1 x Whole Egg 50ml x Unsweetened Almond Milk 1tsp x Baking Powder

Glaze Ingredients:

50g x Fat Free Greek Yoghurt (Liberte´) 1-2tbsp x Zero Calorie Syrup (Maple)

1/3rd tsp x Xantham Gum
Instructions

• 1. Donut Method:
• 2. Pre-heat your fan oven to 170 degrees celsius and prepare your donut pan with a little spray oil. I used a small 6 donut silicone mould however if you don't own one you could use muffin moulds or even bake it as a protein cake.
• 3. Simply add in all of your donut ingredients to a food processor and mix until well combined. I started with my wet ingredients, blitzed this first, then added the dry. The mixture is runny but it bakes well so try and resist wanting to make it any thicker!
• 4. Next, pour your batter into your donut mould and bake in the centre of your fan oven at 170 degrees for around 10 minutes. It should make roughly 14 mini-donuts! Whilst your donuts are baking, make up your frosting.
• 5. Frosting Method:
• 6. Add your yogurt, Zero Syrup and a pinch of xantham gum into a bowl and mix until it is nice and smooth and the texture has begun to get a little gummy. Make sure you add a little xantham at a time as you don't want to add too much or you will end up with a glue like substance! Taste for sweetness and add more syrup as desired... Its calorie free after all so go mad!
• 7. Finally remove your donuts from the oven and let them cool on the side. Once cooled, frost your donuts and store in the fridge once done. These are so simple to make and absolutely delicious, ENJOY!
