Ingredients

Scale

Donut Ingredients

  • 10 medjool dates, pitted
  • 3 scoops plain or vanilla protein powder (33g per scoop)
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/4 cup runny cashew or almond butter (if not runny, thin out dough with more dairy free milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (start with 1/2 cup and add 1/4 cup if dough is too dry)
  • 1/8 cup dairy free milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Add all the donut ingredients into a food processor and blend until a thick, smooth dough forms. Make sure everything is well combined and the texture is dough-like.
  2. Shape the donuts: Roll out the dough into thick logs and seal the ends together to form donut shapes. Alternatively, you can form small balls to make donut holes for a bite-sized treat.
  3. Freeze to set: Place the formed donuts on a tray and put them in the freezer for 45 minutes to one hour to firm up and hold their shape.
  4. Add coating: Coat the frozen donuts in powdered sugar or your choice of glaze. Then, return them to the freezer for another 20 to 30 minutes to set the coating.
  5. Serve and store: Enjoy the donuts immediately after thawing slightly, or store them in the refrigerator or freezer. When ready to eat, thaw a bit if frozen to soften them up.

Notes

  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more dairy free milk gradually until the consistency is workable.
  • Use runny nut butters for best consistency; if using thicker ones, thin them with a small amount of dairy free milk.
  • Medjool dates need to be soft for blending; if dry, soak in warm water for 10 minutes then drain.
  • Protein powder flavor can be plain or vanilla depending on preference.
  • These donuts are best eaten within 3-4 days if refrigerated or can be frozen for up to 1 month.
