Ingredients
  

For the Doughnuts:

  • ½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice
  • ½ scoop protein powder about 15-17 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice dairy-free, if needed
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt dairy-free, if needed

For the Coconut Butter Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sweetener of choice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Set the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a doughnut pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Blend the Batter: Combine all doughnut ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. If the batter seems overly thick, especially when using a casein-based protein powder, add a small splash of milk. Let the mixture rest for about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Fill the Pan & Bake: Pour the batter into the doughnut pan, filling each mold about two-thirds full. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a doughnut comes out clean and they spring back slightly when touched.
  • Cool the Doughnuts: Once done, let the doughnuts sit in the pan for around 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Glaze: While the doughnuts cool, stir together the coconut butter, milk, and sweetener in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Finish & Serve: Drizzle or dip the cooled doughnuts in the glaze, then enjoy!

Notes

  • No doughnut pan? Use a muffin tin or small loaf pan instead, but adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they're ready.
