Ingredients
  

Donut Ingredients
  • 3 Large Extra Ripe Bananas (mashed)
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1 Cup Protein Powder (I used plant-based orgain)
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Cup Ground Flaxseeds (or chia seeds)
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 Cup Unsweetened Cashew Milk (any milk will work)
Frosting Ingredients
  • 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Cream (found in a can)
  • 1/2 Cup Swerve Confectioner Powder (or use powdered sugar)
  • 1/2 Cup Protein Powder (I used orgain)
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350, and grease a donut pan with cooking spray. 
  • Add all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. 
    **if you're making chocolate, add in the cocoa powder, extra milk, and chocolate protein powder
  • Fill the donut pan to the top with batter, and bake 17-19 minutes. 
    **Use the toothpick method to determine if it's done. The edges will be slightly golden. 
  • Let the donuts cool completely before adding frosting or removing from pan.
    Prepare the frosting!

Frosting

  • Add vanilla, protein powder, confectioner powder, and coconut cream to a bowl or electric mixer. Combine well. 
    **Add more protein or confectioner powder until smooth. 
  • Spread about two tablespoons onto the donuts. You'll definitely have some leftover! 
    **Add cocoa powder to create the chocolate frosting. I added the cocoa powder to the leftover vanilla frosting.
