Ingredients

For the doughnuts

  • 2 scoops Freesoul Protein powder (30g) see notes if you are not making these with protein powder
  • 30 g cocoa powder

  • 50 g plain flour
  • 50 g sweetener of choice (or sugar/syrup)
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
  • 2 bananas
  • 150 ml soya milk (or plant milk of choice)
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence

For the tahini glaze

  • 3 tbsp tahini

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Instructions

For the vegan protein doughnuts

  1. Preheat oven to 180C and lightly grease a 6-hole donut tin (I use a silicone one). Add in other ingredients and whizz up well. Divide between donut holes and fill to the top. Bake for 20 minutes then leave to cool. Whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, protein powder and a dash of water to form a glaze. Spoon this over each donut generously to cover. Top each with a sprinkling of granola and cacao nibs.

  2. Place oats in a blender and whizz up to form a flour.

  3. Add in other ingredients and whizz up well- if it's too thick (should be slightly thicker than a cake mix) add in some extra plant milk

  4. Divide between donut holes and fill just below the top and wipe off any excess mix around the mould (this makes it easier to clean after!).

  5. Bake for 20 mins until the doughnuts have rises and a toothpick comes out clean. Leave to cool then transfer on a cooling rack .

For the tahini glaze

  1. Whisk together the tahini, agave syrup, plant milk and protein powder to form a glaze. Add in a dash of water if it needs to be runnier. Taste the mix and adjust where necessary (if it's too sweet add in tahini and if not sweet enough then add more syrup).

  2. Pour the glaze in a wide bowl/plate. Dip the doughnuts into the glaze to ovenly coat.

For the toppings

  1. Drizzle over melted chocolate with a teaspoon by using a flicking action with your wrist. Add chopped fruit of you choice (small fruits work best).
