Healthy DONUTS (Well at least my attempt at it)






What do we need?

Dry Mix

  • 3 cups sweet potato, which is about 6-8 medium pototoes
  • 1 cup oats (gluten free for those sensitive)
  • 1 Scoop protein (Casein works best)
  • 3 TSP Baking powder (gluten free those sensitive)
  • 1 TSP vanilla extract
  • 2 TSP cinnamon
  • 1 TSP Xylitol
  • 3/4 TSP salt

Glazing

  • 1/2 Cup Splenda and 1/4 Cup Water
  • Walden Farms Calorie Free Sauce, optional topping

How do we do this?
  1. Cook the sweet potatoes
  2. Grind up the oats into an oat flour
  3. Mix all dry ingredients together (Try to eliminate as much water as possible from the sweet potatoes by drying them first before mixing)
  4. Once mixed together, scoop mix with 1/4 Cup measure onto non stick pan, proceed to flatten dough just a bit and make a hole in the middle
  5. You can sprinkle 1 TSP Xylitol over the donuts before cooking for extra sweetness if desired
  6. Pre Heat Oven to 400
  7. Cook for 20 Mins at 350
  8. Take out of the oven and leave to cool down before using a glaze
MAKING THE GLAZE- Boil the 1/2 Cup Splenda on a pot, add the water bit by bit. Stop once it thickens up but keep the glaze warm until after the donuts are finished. Takes about 3-5 mins to thicken. You could also topping with the Walden Farms sauce.
Makes: 12-14 Donuts
The recipe has gluten free options and can be modified to be VEGAN by sub. the Casein protein out for non dairy protein.

ENJOY!
