Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup all-purpose or wheat flour
  • 4 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt if you want a little more sweetness, use vanilla
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-5 tablespoons milk or buttermilk regular or plant-based
  • MARBLE SWIRL
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup of white chocolate dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips or two squares of melting chocolate (this will dry quicker)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease your donut pan with cooking spray. I like using silicone because the donuts pop out easier and don't stick.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Whisk together the applesauce, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix or your donuts will be tough.
  • Take 1/4 of the batter and place in separate bowl, leaving 3/4 of the vanilla batter aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder, milk, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and add the mixture to the bowl with 1/4 of the batter you set aside. Make sure the chocolate is mixed in well.
  • Using a pastry bag, pipe or a spoon and place the vanilla batter into the bottom and then place drop tsp of chocolate batter on top, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way up. Don't fill all the way or donuts will bake over the edge of the muffin tin.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the batter in each mold, creating a marble effect.
  • Place the donut pans in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave at 30-second increments until smooth, stirring in between, then drizzle over the top of each donut.
