Bursting with fresh blueberries, these protein donuts are a fruity and delicious way to get 16g of protein. Packed with high-quality whey protein, they provide a satisfying boost to your daily macros, making them an ideal choice for post-workout recovery or a nutritious snack any time of day. The tender, moist interior offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the blueberries, while the lightly crisp exterior provides a delightful texture with every bite. Not only are these donuts rich in protein, but they also deliver healthy carbs and minimal added sugars, supporting your active lifestyle and balanced diet. They’re versatile enough for meal prep—simply store in an airtight container for a quick, grab-and-go treat—and can be enjoyed as a gluten-free option if you substitute almond or coconut flour. For vegans, swapping the whey for plant-based protein powders makes these donuts entirely dairy-free and equally delicious. For best results, use ripe blueberries and avoid overmixing the batter to keep the donuts light and fluffy. Whether you’re fueling a workout, craving a sweet yet healthy snack, or looking for a portable breakfast, these blueberry protein donuts are sure to satisfy your taste buds and support your fitness goals.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My donuts are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
