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 ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

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.
