Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 5 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup oat flour
  • ¼ cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon tapioca starch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup fresh blueberries

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry jam
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the donuts.
  2. Prepare the donut pan: Grease a 6-cavity donut pan thoroughly to prevent the donuts from sticking and set aside.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually whisk in the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, tapioca starch, and salt to the wet mixture. The batter will be thick; ensure flour is spooned and leveled for accuracy.
  5. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
  6. Fill the pan: Using a spoon, scoop about ¼ cup of batter into each section of the greased donut pan. Use the back of a greased spoon to smooth the batter evenly in each cavity.
  7. Bake the donuts: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-13 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool the donuts: Let the donuts cool in the pan for 10 minutes before flipping them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the glaze: In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, blueberry jam, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken.
  10. Glaze the donuts: Once cooled, dip each donut into the blueberry glaze and allow excess to drip off before enjoying.

Notes

  • If you prefer to make this recipe egg-free, apple sauce (4 tablespoons), a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water), or a store-bought egg replacer can be used as substitutes.
  • Be sure to use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen may cause batter discoloration.
  • Measure the oat flour by spooning and leveling to avoid dense donuts.
  • The glaze thickness can be adjusted depending on your preference by varying the milk or powdered sugar.
