A vibrant and earthy flavor, these matcha protein donuts are a unique and healthy treat with 18g of protein, making them an excellent choice for supporting muscle recovery and maintaining energy levels throughout the day. The tender, slightly chewy interior combined with a delicate, crisp exterior offers a satisfying texture that melts in your mouth, while the subtle bitterness of the matcha pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the donut base. Rich in antioxidants and packed with wholesome ingredients, these donuts provide a nourishing boost that aligns perfectly with a balanced, fitness-focused diet. They’re ideal for post-workout refueling, a nutritious snack on the go, or even as a satisfying breakfast when you need a quick, energizing boost. The recipe can easily be adapted to be gluten-free by using almond or coconut flour, and vegan options are simple with plant-based protein powders and flaxseed eggs. For the best results, ensure your matcha is high-quality and sift the dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid clumps, resulting in a smooth batter that bakes evenly.

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a donut pan.

2

In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, erythritol, baking powder, matcha powder, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, and Greek yogurt.

4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

5

Pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

6

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.
