Churro Protein Donuts & Muffins

April 21, 2020

 

    Preheat oven to 375. Apply non-stick spray/oil to 4 wells of donut baking pan with full-size (3.5” across) wells. For muffins, spray 6 cavities of a muffin pan or use parchment liners. If using a silicone baking pan, place on a firm baking sheet.

    In a small bowl, mix together dry ingredients and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together liquids until well blended. Add liquids to dry ingredients and mix well. Spoon into prepared donut pan and bake until cooked through, approximately 12-14 minutes. Tops will spring back when lightly touched.

    Remove from oven and allow to cool a few minutes on cooling rack. If using a silicone pan, run a knife or spatula gently around the edges to ensure that donuts release easily. Remove from pan and sprinkle with granulated topping, if desired.

    Optional topping/garnish: Mix granulated sweetener with cinnamon and sprinkle on donuts or muffins.

    Serves 4

    *If a suitable pancake/waffle mix is not available, use 1/2 C flour (all-purpose, gluten-free, ground oats, or other flour of your choice), plus1/2 tsp baking powder.

    Because pancake mixes often include egg, when making this substitution, you may also wish to replace the 1/4 C applesauce with 1 egg + 1 egg white.

    Ingredients

    Optional cinnamon "sugar" topping:

    • 2 tsp granulated sweetener (Swerve, Truvia, etc.) 
    • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
