Ingredients
Wet
- 1 egg
- 5 tablespoons greek yogurt
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil or butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon tapioca starch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup fresh blueberries
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease a 6 cavity donut pan and set aside.
- Whisk together all wet ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk in the dry ingredients, the batter will be fairly thick. Be sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop right from the bag.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop into your prepared pan. The batter will be thick. It helps to use the back of a greased spoon to smooth things out.You'll need about 1/4 cup of batter per donut.
- Bake for 9-13 minutes or until the tops are just golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once cool, combine the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl. Whisk until smooth, adding more milk as needed to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken.
- Once the donuts have cooled, dip in the glaze and enjoy!
Notes
While I have not tested these without the egg, since there is only one, I imagine an egg substitute would work well. I would suggest either apple sauce (4 tablespoons), a flax egg (1 tablespoon of ground flax plus 3 tablespoons of water), or a store bought egg replacer.
