Instructions for Healthy Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Donuts:

1: Prepare the Donut Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a donut pan with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, Pescience Peanut Butter Delight Protein Powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir until smooth.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well-combined.

2: Bake the Donuts

1. Pour the batter evenly into the donut pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Let the donuts cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

3: Make the Peanut Butter Frosting

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and Greek yogurt until smooth.
2. Add almond milk as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency.

4: Frost and Add Toppings

1. Once the donuts have cooled, spread a thin layer of peanut butter frosting on each donut.
2. Add a small dollop of strawberry jelly on top of the frosting.
3. Sprinkle each donut with chopped peanuts for an extra crunch.

Tips for Making the Perfect Protein Donuts

• Use High-Quality Protein Powder: Pescience Peanut Butter Delight Protein Powder is excellent for flavor and texture.
• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can make the donuts dense. Stir just until combined.
• Add a Little Sweetness: If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the batter.
